The following fit does not make sense to me, please, correct me if I have a 
logical error.

Call:
coxph(formula = Surv(start, stop, resp) ~ sn + matfac2, data = coxsn1,
    method = "efron")

Likelihood ratio test=651  on 13 df, p=0  n= 253802

This would indicate that in sn6 to sn8 there is less of a chance of an event. 
?? do the relative frequencies implied by the following table make any sense??

> table(coxsn1$matfac2,coxsn1$sn,coxsn1$resp)

Apparently the frequency of an event is higher in the summer months.
I apologize for not being able to disclose the dataset, but think that the 
table provides enough to address the question.
Thanks everybody.
