Building a model


In order to build a model, we will incorporate all regular predictors as well as predictors that have a lesser value of p (0.3-0.35). As methodux consists of three steps, the preceding predictor will be incorporated along with a dummy variable as well as methodux1 as a reference. A dummy variable can be formed through the xi command with Toxiq:

Toxiq age metfordrug j.sets 1.metho, Lsssdzc

Fail_c: patient response
Analysis_tm: time

Iteration 0: log Likelihood = - 38645.678, Iteration 1: log Likelihood = -38546.876
Iteration 2: log Likelihood = -38546.956, Iteration 3: log Likelihood = -38546.567

Refined estimate: Iteration 0: Log Likelihood  = -38456,567
