Subject: Survival data
analysis using Fixed Censoring (right censoring).
I have two treatments and
group of subjects within each treatment that some have died during the test
period while others survived to the end.
Those that died have a
`death_age', while all the survivals
(censored) have missing
values.
I produced a new column
called censored where dead animals get a value of 0 and survivals get a value
of 1.
The objective is to test if
there is a difference in survivability between the two treatments.
Is this the right way to
arrange this data?
Should I give the survival a
`fake' death_age (999)?
What option of the survival
analysis would work best (proportional hazard, survival, parametric etc.).
Thanks.
