I must have a vocabulary problem.
I've tryed the method you gave me and I get a Cumulative Hazard for my
Data.
But, what I'm looking for is the Baseline Hazard (I don't know if the
term is appropriate).

If I consider a cox model for the intantaneous risk of death:
h(t,Z)=h0(t)exp(b'Z), what I'm looking for is H0(t).

What I get with the surfit() methot is H(t).

I might be completly wrong, but when I compute my data in SPSS, I get a
Cumulative Baseline Hazard of 0.062, in R, with the surfit way, I get
0.33, which correspond in the SPSS result to the Cumulative Hazard.

I hope that what i'm writing is not too fuzzy.

I hope my questions are not too boring :-)
