Editorial Reviews

Review

"…provides excellent exposure to the theory." (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, June 2005)

"The book contains a wealth of material and analytic insight…will continue to be an invaluable resource for all researchers and graduate students in the field…for years to come." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2003)

"...researchers in hazard function are likely to find new and valuable information in this book..." (Journal of Mathematical Psychology, Vol. 47 2003)

"Do you work in life statistics or reliability statistics? If so, you probably need this book...it contains everything you have ever wanted to know plus a lot more...the second edition...is a great book—improved, modernized, and comprehensive..." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 3, August 2003)

"A review of the first edition, my first contribution to Short Book Reviews...stated 'This book should become a standard reference in the field.' In view of the undeniable accuracy of that prediction, need I say more?" (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 23, No. 2, August 2003)

From the Publisher

Synthesizes statistical models and methods for the analysis of failure time or ``survival'' data. Focuses on regression problems with survival data, specifically the estimation of regression coefficients and distributional shape in the presence of shaping. Deals with the theory, applications and extensions of the proportional hazards model. Includes worked examples and problems for solution. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice as a reference.... not so good as a class textbook, October 1, 2008

This review is from: The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics) (Hardcover)
I believe it is a good book that you can use as a reference book but definitely not as good for a textbook. At many points I feel like the authors are just saying something, and they feel that the reader should believe them, even if they don't justify it.

As class textbooks I like books that give very detailed explanations about everything... because do not forget... Students are people that have their first touch with those materials. Something obvious to the writer... is not obvious to the reader, especially if that student is a student.

If I rate it as a textbook that my professor suggested I will give it low ratings, but since it is not the authors fault if someone suggest this as a textbook then I will see it as a book generally and I will give it 4 stars because it is really good for a reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome and well-written update to a classic in the field., August 24, 2005
This review is from: The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics) (Hardcover)
The prior edition of this book has long been used for introductory courses in survival analysis for statistics students, and its treatment of the proportional hazards model and partial likelihood is classic. Contrary to the claims of another reviewer here, notation for the survival function is far from standardized in the field. In fact, both this book and another standard text ("Analysis of Survival Data" by D.R. Cox and D. Oakes) represent this quantity with an "F". An excellent and authoratative introduction for students with some knowledge of theoretical statistics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality and Decent Price, December 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics) (Hardcover)
Very good book to use as a reference when analyzing failure data. Always enjoyed Wiley series books as they are straightforward to follow.
