If 'itm' is a covariate with measurement error, then you could also have a look at the 'JM' package.

I hope it helps.

Best,

Subject: [R] Survival Regression with multiple records per subject


Dear R users!

I reformulate the question with another example perhaps my question will be
more clearly now.

I have several subjects. One subject has multiple records. Only a starting
point exists the end point is vague.
Here is an example:

  itm      ID     exercise      time
1.401869    1        0             1
1.324390    1        0             2
1.324390    1        0             3
1.333338    1        0             4
1.346761    1        0             5
1.315441    1        1             6
1.337812    2        0             1
1.319915    2        0             2
1.351235    2        1             3
itm is the covariate;
ID is the subject Id;
exercise indicates if the subject is dead=1 or alive=0

How can I allocate the multiple records to one subject (for example record 1-6 are part of subject with ID 1 record 7-9 are part of subject with ID2)
and process a survival regression.

the "survRegData <- survreg(formula=Surv(time,exercise)~itm, data=Data, dist="weibull")" command doesn't take into account that multiple records are
part of one subject.

Many thanks!

Fabian Hefner
