'Preface In modern medicine, knowledge on human lifetime and what shortens it has been gradually accumulated over years of tremendous numeric studies. All quantitative products in those studies are well supported by a system of statistical tools, namely survival analysis. This book is speci cally devoted to this important category of statistical methods. There already exist quite a number of well-written, widely used introductory texts on this subject. The rst two chapters of this book may serve a similar function and provide some basic textbook-type materials for a third or fourth year undergraduate module or a graduate module in statistics or biostatistics. Comparing to other texts, we do not repeat basic principles of regression analysis and mainly focus on the special concerns on survival model. We intend to cover almost all fundamental materials while con ning us to simple notations and plain language everywhere in these two chapters. The counting process theory is only appended in the second chapter for the sake of completeness and may entertain students who like theories. According to authors' experience, the materials in these two chapters are usually sufficient for a one-semester module at the level indicated above. Another piece that can be easily incorporated in the syllabus of this module is the rst section of chapter 5 where elementary diagnostic medicine approaches are discussed'-- Buch (fremdspr.)

Using real data sets throughout Survival Analysis in Medicine and Genetics introduces the latest methods for analyzing high-dimensional survival data. It provides thorough coverage of recent statistical developments in the medical and genetics fields. The text mainly addresses special concerns of the survival model. After covering the fundamentals it discusses interval censoring nonparametric and semiparametric hazard regression multivariate survival data analysis the sub-distribution method for competing risks data the cure rate model and Bayesian inference methods. The authors then focus on time-dependent diagnostic medicine and high-dimensional genetic data analysis. Many of the methods are illustrated with clinical examples. Emphasizing the applications of survival analysis techniques in genetics this book presents a statistical framework for burgeoning research in this area and offers a set of established approaches for statistical analysis. It reveals a new way of looking at how predictors are associated with censored survival time and extracts novel statistical genetic methods for censored survival time outcome from the vast amount of research results in genomics. new, Chapman & Hall<
