Survival Analysis: A Self-Learning Text (Statistics for Biology and Health)
"Imagine---a statistics textbook that actually explains things in English instead of explaining a topic by bombarding the reader with page-widthj equations requiring an advanced degree in Math just to read the book. If it weren't for this book, I would be really stuck." (David Britz)From the reviews of the second edition:"The most meaningful accolade that I can give to this text is that it admirably lives up to its title."Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2006"This text is … an elementary introduction to survival analysis. It is primarily intended for self-study, but it has also proven useful as a basic text in a standard classroom course … . Each chapter starts with an Introduction, an Abbreviated outline, and Objectives, and ends with self tests, exercises and a detailed outline. Solutions to tests and exercises are also provided."
