HAZARD.MAC

This macro produces datasets containing values for plotting the cumulative hazard and kernel hazard functions.  The macro must be run once for each strata/group.

%MACRO HAZARD(TIME=, DELTA=, GROUP=, GROUPNUM=, DATA=_LAST_, BAND=);

TIME:  specify the variable that contains follow-up time/ survival time of interest.

DELTA:  coded 0 or 1 where 0 indicates a censored value

GROUP:  Name of variable that holds the strata identifiers

GROUPNUM:  Indicates the group for which hazard and cum hazard estimates are to be calcultated

DATA:  Name of dataset, default is the last one used

BAND:  Bandwidth for calculating the kernel estimator of the hazard 

Output of macro is two datasets, CUMH? and HAZ? where the ? is replaced by the value specified for groupnum.  If you have 3 strata numbered 1, 2, and 3, run the macro 3 times to produce the datasets CUMH1, HAZ1, CUMH2, HAZ2, CUMH3, HAZ3.
