Hi allstat members,
This is in continuation with my previous question.
I have a large data set of about 6428 cases containing information on a large number of continuous and categorical variabels pertaining to mortality and other characteristics of children and corresponding information on various charateristics of their mothers.
The aim is to determine gender differences in mortality and also to determine the important "determinants of gender difference in mortality".
The question is: which model would be most appropriate for the purpose ?
I would like to use a hazard model for the purpose, but how can it tell us about the gender difference, and the determinants of the gender difference ?
As I described in my last e-mail, I have heard that varying coefficient model may be used, but I don't know, how ?
Hope the learned members of "allstat" would help to suggest suitable statistical model.
with regards
