Recenzje

"Forty papers provide an overview of survival analysis and describe the state of the art (...) in this field of statistics." --Journal of Economic Literature, 2004-1222

"The book successfully provides the reader with an overiew of which topics are the subject of current research in survival analysis. Areas covered include (to name a few): complex patterns of information loss, bivariate survival, multi-state models, gene expression analysis, and quality of life analysis." --Jan Beyersmann, in STATISTICS IN MEDICINE, Vol. 24, 2005
