Synopsis:

A unified treatment of models and statistical methods used in the analysis of lifetime or response time data. Draws together the most important, up-to-date methods used in engineering, medical and the biological sciences, including parametric, distribution-free, nonparametric, and graphical methods. Numerical illustrations and examples involving real data demonstrate the application of each method to problems in areas such as reliability, product performance evaluation, clinical trials, and experimentation in the biomedical sciences.

Review: “...a welcome addition to the literature on survival analysis...for a unified and thorough reference of classical theory and models, this book is an excellent choice.” ( Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2004)

"This book is a role–model for other who are planning to write books...every statistician and applied researcher ought to have this book in their collection." (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, October 2003)

"...expanded and updated with recent research...a valuable reference...this book...merits a place on the bookshelf of anyone concerned with the analysis of lifetime data from any field. (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 3, August 2003)

"...updated version of the popular text...this excellent book will serve as either a reference or a graduate–level textbook." (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 23, No. 2, August 2003)

"...excellent...provides a wealth of information for those familiar with the area." (Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 20, No. 9, September 2003)

"...the author′s aim is to cover lifetime data analysis without concentrating exclusively on any field of applications...he succeeds quite well..." (Zentralblatt Math, 2003)

“...rewritten to reflect new developments...” (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LXI, No. 2, June 2003)

"Compared with the large number of other good textbooks in the this field, this is one of the best. I highly recommend that all applied statisticians add this volume to their libraries." (Applied Clinical Trials, May 2003)
