i am trying to perform cox regression on survival data of tumor patients with the covariate "resection status". Patients had either biopsy (=0), partial resection(=1) or total resection of the tumor (=2).
I have trouble understanding the following: "total resection" (=2) is the reference value so "partial resection"(=1) and "biopsy"(=0) are compared to "total resection" and are assigned a p-value and an HR. WHAT is the meaning of the p-value behind the reference value though (that has nor HR assigned) - I highlighted this value green in the attached file.
The code looks like this:
COXREG KapOStime
/STATUS=Tod(1)
/CONTRAST (Resektion)=Indicator
/METHOD=ENTER Resektion
/CRITERIA=PIN(.05) POUT(.10) ITERATE(20).
