An Introduction to Survival Analysis Using Stata, Second Edition
Unlike some glorified manuals available in the market, this book is a genuine text for an introductory course in survival analysis using Stata. This book is also an excellent supplement for a graduate-level survival analysis course as well as a reference book for a data analyst dealing with survival data. The book presents the essential models, formulas, background, and relevant references in a compact and adequate manner, and then continues to present the relevant tools, their implementation, and explanation of outputs. The present edition includes new materials related to changes in Stata 9 and 10. Particularly, the addition of an entire new chapter on power, effect size, and sample size evaluations is a welcome addition for practitioners and students.—The American Statistician, November 2010, Vol. 64, No. 4
