Estimating Event History Model using SPSS or STATA

张伦
Dear all:

I am trying to construct a multilevel event history model. Specifically, the model is specified as a cross-level main effects model regarding xi as the IV at the first level, and z as the IV at the higher level.

Does anyone know how to write the SPSS syntax?  To the best of my knowledge, SPSS could only handle linear multilevel analysis. 

I have also checked the syntax of STATA. I found that only the clustering variable (i.e., groups, clusters), rather than the IVs at the higher level could be incorporated to the model by "shared" command. 

Thanks, 
ZHANG Lun

There is a generalized linear mixed model procedure (GENLINMIXED) in
SPSS 19. However, I doubt an event history model can be fit using this
procedure. You might want to investigate the very flexible nonlinear
mixed model procedure (NLMIXED) in SAS to fit a multilevel event
history model. I'm fairly certain the NLMIXED procedure can handle
such a model, though writing the appropriate code could be tricky.
