Threshold regression for time-to-event analysis: The stthreg package
Abstract. In this article, we introduce the stthreg package of Stata commands
to fit the threshold regression model, which is based on the first hitting time of a
boundary by the sample path of a Wiener diffusion process and is well suited to
applications involving time-to-event and survival data. The threshold regression
model serves as an important alternative to the Cox proportional hazards model.
The four commands that comprise this package for the threshold regression model
are the model-fitting command stthreg, the postestimation command trhr for
hazard-ratio calculation, the postestimation command trpredict for prediction,
and the model diagnostics command sttrkm. These commands can also be used
to implement an extended threshold regression model that accommodates applications
where a cure rate exists.
