I am dealing with a large, longitudinal data set that follows a population 
over 3 (unequal) interviews, with censored data. My questions are as follows:
    * Are 3 intervals sufficient for using survival analysis techniques 
such as Cox's proportional hazards model?
    * Given that the time intervals are unequal (i.e., responses to the 
survey occur at  6 months, 2 years and 4 years), are some methods more 
appropriate than others?
Please respond to newbold at mcmaster.ca

Thanks in advance,

Bruce Newbold
