Questions about stan_surv function.
Description:
I want to utilize stan_surv to explore various variables' (including time-fixed covariate and time-varying covariate) impact on survival time. And the manual suggests give us examples of time-fixed covariate and time-varying covariate situations like this:
mod1 <- stan_surv(formula = Surv(recyrs, status) ~ group,
data = bcancer,
chains = CHAINS,
cores = CORES,
seed = SEED,
iter = ITER)
and
mod_tvc <- stan_surv( formula = Surv(tstart, tstop, death) ~ log(bili) + log(protime),
data = dat,
chains = CHAINS,
cores = CORES,
seed = SEED,
iter = ITER)
Time-fixed covariate and time-varying covariate are analyzed separately, and the model for time-varying covariates has a "start-stop" time structure.
Here I would like to ask that if I have time-fixed covariate and time-varying covariate at the same time, should I separate them? Moreover, the model for time-fixed covariate only contains one covariate, if I have a few covariates, should I separate them or put them together?
Looking forward to your answer and appreciate it!

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names stan_surv and the manual's fixed-covariate and start-stop examples, but no repository file or test. Start by reading the stan_surv documentation and those examples to determine how combined covariates are intended to work. Done would require a documented answer or an expanded example addressing the described use case.
