Survival Analysis: A Practical Approach

by David Machin, Yin Bun Cheung, Mahesh Parmar

Well received in its first edition, Survival A Practical Approach is completely revised to provide an accessible and practical guide to survival analysis techniques in diverse environments.   Illustrated with many authentic examples, the book introduces basic statistical concepts and methods to construct survival curves, later developing them to encompass more specialised and complex models. During the years since the first edition there have been several new topics that have come to the fore and many new applications.  Parallel developments in computer software programmes, used to implement these methodologies, are relied upon throughout the text to bring it up to date.
