Description: This book "is intended to meet the need for a single volume covering the methodologies appropriate for the analysis of survival data. The book has been written for biomedical investigators, statisticians, epidemiologists, and researchers in other disciplines who are involved or interested in analyzing survival data. It covers the most commonly used methods, parametric and nonparametric, in survival data analysis and can be used as a reference resource or textbook. In addition, it provides guidelines for the planning and design of clinical trials." Innovations in this second edition include a discussion of population life tables, introduction of the concepts of standardized mortality ratio and standardized incidence ratio, and the inclusion of information on survival-data-analysis computer programs written over the past 10 years. (Excerpt).
