SURVIVAL VARIANCE GROUP

The VARIANCE group in SURVIVAL consists of the beta estimates, their variance-covariance matrix under the user specified sample design (DESIGN option), the SRS variance-covariance matrix, the idempotent matrix required for hypothesis testing, and denominator degrees of freedom. This group is not printed by default, though the statistics are available for individual printing, either by explicit use of appropriate keyword(s) on the PRINT statement or by specifying VARIANCE=DEFAULT or VARIANCE=ALL on the PRINT statement. The keywords in the VARIANCE group are listed below in default order.
