About this book
Because explaining survival analysis requires more advanced mathematics than many other statistical topics, this book is organized with basic concepts and most frequently used procedures covered in earlier chapters, with more advanced topics near the end and in the appendices. A background in basic linear regression and categorical data analysis, as well as a basic knowledge of calculus and the R system, will help the reader to fully appreciate the information presented. Examples are simple and straightforward while still illustrating key points, shedding light on the application of survival analysis in a way that is useful for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in biostatistics.
Reviews
“This book describes the principles of survival analysis, gives examples of how it is applied, and teaches how to put those principles to use to analyze data using R. … The intended audience includes students taking a master's level course in statistical theory and analysts who need to work with survival time data. … This is an excellent overview of the main principles of survival analysis and its applications with examples using R for the intended audience.” (Hemang B. Panchal, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2016)
