hi, all,
I want to do a project about the relation between commit suicide
and some factors. I plan to use competing risks proportional hazard
model .Who can give me any suggestions or help me?
maybe someone have done the project before, can share with?
though it maybe has nothing to do with the sas, I really need
your help. Thanks in advance

Hi Siyuan,

competing risks can be tricky, and there are several ways to approach
it. It is best to keep the number of risk-types to minimum, so lump
some together if it makes sense to do so. Texts for survival analyses
seem to be talking more about competing risks these days, and the one
I found most helpful was Kleinbaum and Klein's "Survival anlaysis: a
self-learning text, 2nd edition" - it was this text that showed me how
to do a modified Lunn-McNeil competing risks analysis using SAS PROC
PHREG. The advantage of this analysis, compared to more common
methods, is that you can consider covariate's potential effects on
each type of risk simultaneously in a Type-3 regression context. Hope
that helps - still trying to publish those final analyses, but they
are in my dissertation on-line - you can Googel "Haskell deer Texas"
if you are interested. SH

if I want to do a project about the relation between commit suicide
and some factors, what the model is better? the data is comprehensive
and the data had divided into several groups by age.
can somebody give me some suggestions?

Siyuan Li,

Before you jump into a "project about the relation between commit suicide
and some factors', it might be prudent to first investigate existing
theories of suicidal behavior even though there are damn few worthwhile
theories about any aspect of human psychological functioning. I would
suggest you start with
http://www.pcp-net.org/encyclopaedia/constriction.html. Constricted
construing is a dead give away of potential suicidal behavior and is well
documented in the psychological literature.

Joe
