Applied Survival Analysis Using R covers themain principles of survival analysis, gives examples of how it is applied, andteaches how to put those principles to use to analyze data using R as avehicle. Survival data, where the primary outcome is time to a specific event,arise in many areas of biomedical research, including clinical trials,epidemiological studies, and studies of animals. Many survival methods areextensions of techniques used in linear regression and categorical data, whileother aspects of this field are unique to survival data. This text employsnumerous actual examples to illustrate survival curve estimation, comparison ofsurvivals of different groups, proper accounting for censoring and truncation,model variable selection, and residual analysis.
Because explaining survival analysisrequires more advanced mathematics than many other statistical topics, thisbook is organized with basic concepts and most frequently used procedurescovered in earlier chapters, with more advanced topics near the end and in theappendices. A background in basic linear regression and categorical dataanalysis, as well as a basic knowledge of calculus and the R system, will helpthe reader to fully appreciate the information presented. Examples aresimple and straightforward while still illustrating key points, shedding lighton the application of survival analysis in a way that is useful for graduatestudents, researchers, and practitioners in biostatistics.
