This table contains information on the sample design pertinent to the estimation of the model.
There is one case per subject, and all 5,687 cases are used in the analysis.
The sample represents less than 2% of the entire estimated population.

Tests of model effects
In the proportional hazards model, the signicance value for the predictor age is less than 0.05
and, therefore, appears to contribute to the model.

Parameter estimates for alternative model
The signicance value for the overall test of proportional hazards is less than 0.05, indicating that
the proportional hazards assumption is violated. The log time function is used for the alternative
model, so it will be easy to replicate this time-dependent predictor.
