Survival Models and Data Analysis (Wiley Classics Library)
- Book Review,
by Regina C. Elandt-Johnson, Norman L. Johnson
From Book News, Inc.
Combines material and techniques developed in several different disciplines, such as epidemiology, reliability theory, and statistical methods, on what with a slight shift of emphasis could be called mortality data, as they appear in a myriad of contexts from small-scale laboratory tests to massive records of long-term clinical trials. Sets out general principles of the various models and includes exercises that can be worked out different ways in order to discourage people from mistaking any particular method for exclusive truth.

Book Description
Survival analysis deals with the distribution of life times, essentially the times from an initiating event such as birth or the start of a job to some terminal event such as death or pension. This book, originally published in 1980, surveys and analyzes methods that use survival measurements and concepts, and helps readers apply the appropriate method for a given situation. Four broad sections cover introductions to data, univariate survival function, multiple-failure data, and advanced topics.
