Survival Analysis: Techniques for Censored and Truncated Data (Statistics for Biology and Health)

I am a computer scientist and using this book for my research to address a problem. This book is well written but of course target audience are people with solid background in probability theory and parameteric estimation (pattern recognition). Therefore please do not expect that author will teach you basic probability theory. Contents are more applied in nature therefore natural audience are staticians and researchers.

Standard textbook for survival analysis. If you need to know anything about survival you need this book.

The book was just as expected with one issue - the book binding is put on backwards! If I look at what should be the front of the book and open it up, I'm looking at the back page, upside down! I would have sent it back, but it's a fun little oddity.

Kindle book is awful. Paragraphs are copied and pasted wrong, it makes it impossible to read the book. I had to end up buying a hard copy. I want a REFUND.

Satisfied

Very helpful and easy to read. Highly recommended.

Kindle Edition is horrible- it does not display properly on my Kindle for iPad app.

It provides explanations that are not easily found in modern books. The topics are well accompanied by a collection of good examples.
