Description
|
Recent years have seen a major growth in the development of methods for analyzing survival time data. At the same time, there has been little in the statistical literature to guide researchers in health-related areas who study time-to-event data. This book fills this gap, providing a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to regression modeling used in the analysis of time-to-event data in epidemiological, biostatistical, and other health-related research. Unlike other texts on the subject, it focuses almost exclusively on practical applications rather than mathematical theory and it offers clear, accessible presentations of modern modeling techniques supplemented with real-world examples and case studies.
The book is supported by an FTP site that contains provocative data sets and useful pedagogical hints.
