I always find the hazard rations difficult to interpret. The expected
survival time seems to be a better quantity.

Hi there,
My ultimate goal is to produce a plot of effect sizes associated with
the treatment across a range of models. I am translating all results
into relative risks with 95% confidence intervals. When you run a
duration dependent model using the exponential survival distribution
and obtain hazard ratios, have you thus obtained the quantity of
interest? Using Zelig in the Logit framework, for example, I set
values of X and ran simulation to obtain relative risks. But in the
survival framework, it appears that simply through regression, you
obtain the analogous quantity. Is there any benefit in using Zelig to
run simulations in this case?
