However, there has been minimal coverage in the available literature to9 guide researchers, practitioners, and students who wish to apply these methods to health-related areas of study. Applied Survival Analysis, Second Edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to regression modeling for time-to-event data in medical, epidemiological, biostatistical, and other health-related research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book places a unique emphasis on the practical and contemporary applications of regression modeling rather than the mathematical theory. It offers a clear and accessible presentation of modern modeling techniques supplemented with real-world examples and case studies. Key topics covered include: variable selection, identification of the scale of continuous covariates, the role of interactions in the model, assessment of fit and model assumptions, regression diagnostics, recurrent event models, frailty models, additive models, competing risk models, and missing data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeatures of the Second Edition include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpanded coverage of interactions and the covariate-adjusted survival functions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe use of the Worchester Heart Attack Study as the main modeling data set for illustrating discussed concepts and techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew discussion of variable selection with multivariable fractional polynomials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFurther exploration of time-varying covariates, complex with examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdditional treatment of the exponential, Weibull, and log-logistic parametric regression models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreased emphasis on interpreting and using results as well as utilizing multiple imputation methods to analyze data with missing values\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew examples and exercises at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalyses throughout the text are performed using Stata(R) Version 9, and an accompanying FTP site contains the data sets used in the book. Applied Survival Analysis, Second Edition is an ideal book for graduate-level courses in biostatistics, statistics, and epidemiologic methods. It also serves as a valuable reference for practitioners and researchers in any health-related field or for professionals in insurance and government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David W.
