[Basta-users] Question about mortality slopes/trajectories

[WEISS ALEXANDER]

Hi all,

I am working with some data on around 1800 humans in which a cohort has been followed for ~45 years (the mortality rate is around 90%). One of my co-authors thinks the work would benefit by my looking at mortality slopes, namely to test whether the effect of one or more of our predictors would differ across the 45 years of follow-up. From what I could tell at this odd hour and with some googling, BaSTA appears to be the right approach to this question. If so, are there any good examples I could follow or general guidelines on setting up the models?

Many thanks in advance and my most sincere apologies if anything I have said has been unclear or confusing.

Best,

Alex
