Hi,
This is not an S-Plus question but I know that most S-Plus users are
knowledgeable of SAS, so  I dare to post it.

I made an analysis involving a time dependent variable both in S-plus and
SAS. 
Here is the output for SAS:

CHEMO     coef= 0.586384       SE=0.22098       chi-square=7.04154
p-value=0.0080

Result in S-plus:
chemo  coef=0.586   se(coef)=0.221   robust se(coef)=0.288  z=2.04
p-value=0.041

It can be noticed that everything is the same except that SAS does not use
the robust SE.

Does this make the time dep. analysis in SAS unreliable? Or maybe there is
an option somewhere to make it use the robust SE?

Thank you,
