Following answers.

Wayne Fischer

Daniele, are you saying that the survival rate is constant, or that the hazard rate is constant, or that the hazard ratio is constant?

Daniele Porcheddu

Dear prof. Wayne Fischer , indeed I meant a case in which the survival rate is constant. Thank you for your attention. Daniele

If the survival rate is constant, the survival plot would be a straight line (slope = survival rate = a constant) - right? So, the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier model will work (as in "Keep It Simple").

Salvatore Saiu

Dear Prof. Daniele Porcheddu , I would recommend this book: Cummings, P. (2019). Analysis of incidence rates. CRC Press. Thanks. Best Regards Salvatore Saiu
