Book Description

0470870400 978-0470870402 June 5, 2006 2
Well received in its first edition, Survival Analysis: 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but a bit too technical at times..., March 8, 2007
This review is from: Survival Analysis: A Practical Approach (Hardcover)
Overall this is a well written text with discussion of the most commonly used procedures. However, the discussion gets a bit technical at times without a lot of background explanation. The other problem is that there is virtually no discussion of how results should be written up. There are several examples, but I found none that show a good write up. It's clear that the authors were intending this text to be used in a classroom setting and not as a "do-it-yourself" instruction manual.
