Description: "Applied Survival Analysis is a comprehensive introduction to regression modeling for time to event data used in epidemiological, biostatistical, and other health-related research. Unlike other texts on the subject, it focuses almost exclusively on practical applications rather than mathematical theory and offers clear, accessible presentations of modern modeling techniques supplemented with real-world examples and case studies.

While the authors emphasize the proportional hazards model, descriptive methods and parametric models are also considered in some detail."--BOOK JACKET. "Applied Survival Analysis is an ideal introduction for graduate students in biostatistics and epidemiology, as well as researchers in health-related fields."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 365-377) and index.
