Profusely illustrated with examples and written in an easy-to-follow style, this practical guide begins with an introduction to survival analysis and a description of four studies that lead to survival data. Subsequent chapters then use those data sets and others to illustrate various analytical techniques applicable to such data. This second edition features a more detailed treatment of parametric models, accelerated failure time models, and analysis of interval-censored data. It also illustrates methods using SAS to generate and examine output in detail.
