Applied statisticians in many fields must frequently analyze time
to event data. While the statistical tools presented in this book
are applicable to data from medicine, biology, public health,
epidemiology, engineering, economics, and demography, the focus
here is on applications of the techniques to biology and medicine.
The analysis of survival experiments is complicated by issues of
censoring, where an individual's life length is known to occur only
in a certain period of time, and by truncation, where individuals
enter the study only if they survive a sufficient length of time or
individuals are included in the study only if the event has
occurred by a given date. The use of counting process methodology
has allowed for substantial advances in the statistical theory to
account for censoring and truncation in survival experiments. This
book makes these complex methods more accessible to applied
researchers without an advanced mathematical background. The
authors present the essence of these techniques, as well as
classical techniques not based on counting processes, and apply
them to data. Practical suggestions for implementing the various
methods are set off in a series of Practical Notes at the end of
each section. Technical details of the derivation of the techniques
are sketched in a series of Technical Notes. This book will be
useful for investigators who need to analyze censored or truncated
life time data, and as a textbook for a graduate course in survival
analysis. The prerequisite is a standard course in statistical
methodology.
