Opis

The analysis of survival data is a traditional statistical theme. However, in the last 10-15 years there has been an explosion of interest resulting in the development of many new theoretical ideas and useful methods, especially in the study of the relationship between survival times and explanatory variables. This monograph brings together the older and newer ideas to present a comprehensive up-to-date account of the field.

Recenzje

"One of those books that any applied statistician who encounters problems involving the analysis of survival data - whether medical statistics or industrial life-testing - will want to have. It is very well written by two eminently qualified individuals. The book has been kept quite short by eliminating many of the mathematical details and proofs..I n summary, this is a good book."
