I try to find the hazard ratio for each class (total of 5 classes in this categorical variable I called "group"), and I also tried dichotomies but the results were still not good. Here only 8 events out of 97 subjects
My data got 97 ID(subjects), 97 rows, and these columns: ID, SEX, AGE, TIME, event, group(5 classes), group_A, grou_b, group_c, group_d, group_e, last 5 are binary.
I tried putting all seven variables in the model
# Fit the Cox proportional hazards model, group a as reference
model = coxph(Surv(time, event) ~ group_b + group_c +
group_d + group_e, data = df, iter.max = 1000)
I also tried analyses by "group"
model_A = coxph(Surv(time, event) ~ group, data = df, iter.max = 1000)
both way shows Warning: coefficient may be infinite and not converge.
