• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Third Edition brings the text up to date with new material and updated references. New content includes an introduction to left and interval censored data; the log-logistic distribution; estimation procedures for left and interval censored data; parametric methods iwth covariates; Cox's proportional hazards model (including stratification and time-dependent covariates); and multiple responses to the logistic regression model. Coverage of graphical methods has been deleted. Large data sets are provided on an FTP site for readers' convenience. Bibliographic remarks conclude each chapter.
