Synopsis:

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.

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)
