| 45 | +{helpb survsim} simulates survival data from a parametric distribution, a user-defined distribution, from a fitted |
| 46 | +{helpb merlin} model, from a cause-specific hazards competing risks model, or from a Markov multi-state model. |
| 47 | +This help file centres on simulating from a fitted {helpb merlin} model. |
| 48 | +{p_end} |
| 49 | +{pstd} |
| 50 | +Survival times can be simulated from the estimated model, using the variables in your current dataset. The variables can simply |
| 51 | +be altered, to provide a flexible framework to simulate using the estimated parameter vector. |
| 52 | +{p_end} |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +{pstd} |
| 55 | +{it:newvarname1} specifies the new variable name to contain the generated survival times. {it:newvarname2} specifies the |
| 56 | +new variable name to contain the generated event indicator. |

| 63 | +{phang}{opt model(name)} specifies the name of the {helpb estimates store} object containing the estimates of the model |
| 64 | +fitted. The survival must be estimated using the {helpb merlin} command. For example,{p_end} |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +{phang2}{cmd:. merlin (_t trt , family(weibull, failure(_d)))}{p_end} |
| 67 | +{phang2}{cmd:. estimates store m1}{p_end} |
| 68 | +{phang2}{cmd:. survsim stime died, model(m1) maxtime(10)}{p_end} |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +{phang2}{cmd:survsim} will simulate from the fitted model, using covariate values that are in your current dataset.{p_end} |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +{phang}{opt maxtime(#|varname)} specifies the right censoring time(s). Either a common maximum follow-up time {cmd:#} can be |
| 73 | +specified for all observations, or observation specific censoring times can be specified by using a {varname}. {p_end} |
