Have a look at Help > Algorithms,
then SURVIVAL Algorithms > Construction of Life Table > Calculation
of Survival Functions > Standard Error of the Hazard Rate; or the Survival
chapter of the Algorithms PDF if you have the CD's available. That
looks at first glance like an SE for the hazard rate and not log(hazard
rate).
Alex
The last two columns in the life table generated by
SURVIVAL show the hazard
rate and its standard error. I strongly suspect that the SE is actually
for
the natural log of the hazard rate, but have not yet found anything in
the
Help to confirm this. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks,
