Alternatively, one could use generalized estimating equations (GEE) to account for the correlated nature of the data.  See the GENLIN procedure.  (IIRC, I used both conditional logistic regression and GEE with 1:3 matching, and found that the results were very similar.)  For an introduction to GEE, see the article by James Hanley et al. in Am J Epidemiol 2003;157:364–375.

Cox easily handles {case, control} = {1,1}, {1,n}
{m,n} can perhaps be broken into m*{1,n}





Hello

I am analyzing a matched subjects case control study where some strata have
one case with
multiple controls and other strata have multiple cases and multiple
controls. I have read that
COX Regression would work for single case strata but not so well for strata
with more than
one case because the method used on COX Reg for handling tied survival
times, Breslow's
method, will not produce accurate results... My question is, is there some
technique that can
be implemented that can handle this type of design within SPSS? Any help is
greatly
appreciated. Thanks
