Classic reference for the Cox proportional hazards model. A bit dated, but the authors tell me that a new version is in preparation. Broad coverage of modern statistical methods used for survival analysis in the biomedical sciences. Broad coverage of topics with many examples from both survival analysis and engineering problems. Inc. Relatively non-technical introduction to basic methods for making inferences about a survival population and for comparing populations.
Emphasis is on nonparametric methods.
Course notes from Rupert Miller's course. Emphasis on nonparametric methods. Original classic paper developing the widely used nonparametric model for survival data analysis with nonhomogeneous populations. This model is extensively treated in the text by Kalbfleisch and Prentice. Original, classic paper developing Kaplan-Meier estimate for right censored observations.
