Related procedures. If the proportional hazards assumption does not hold (see above),
you may need to use the Cox with Time-Dependent Covariates procedure. If you have
no covariates, or if you have only one categorical covariate, you can use the Life Tables
or Kaplan-Meier procedure to examine survival or hazard functions for your sample(s).
If you have no censored data in your sample (that is, every case experienced the
terminal event), you can use the Linear Regression procedure to model the relationship
between predictors and time-to-event.
