Introduction Checking the proportional hazards assumption Fitting strati ed Cox models Final remarks (cont’d) The other primary limitation of strati ed models is that there is no way to carry out inference for the strati cation variables For example, strati cation is commonly used to aggregate results across multi-center studies, because ...
