Thank you David for your answer. Some follow-up questions:
- So, do you think that try to estimate the life expectancy would be risky and probably not justifiable? Is there some sort of 'confidence' that the model could give me for a prediction? - type=response - I found it here: https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/survival/html/predict.survreg.html I have not tried it yet, but I was planning to use that because it says that predict the "original scale of the data". - Yes, I think they are time-varying predictors. Would you suggest other models? (coxph?) Overall, do you think this analysis is feasible/correct? Predicting how much time a new individual (with those covariates) will be alive till death, is a reasonable thing to predict with survival model?
