I have previously had experience only with Cox PH model and its assumptions checking. Now for the first time I have my clients data with most of the covariates varying in time, only a few are fixed valued. I did set it up in start/stop format and I have also fitted some models, but cox.zph is showing very small p-values. My understanding is, that extended Cox model is not a PH model. Do I even need the cox.xphzph test for time-dependent variables? Or when including fixed covariates, then would I need to see large p-values for those or not?
