Description

Survival Analysis Using R provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of survival analysis, using R as a vehicle for data analysis. This field is essential in biomedical research, including clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and animal studies, where survival data are common. The book covers basic concepts and frequently used procedures in earlier chapters, with more advanced topics reserved for later chapters and appendices. It employs real-world examples to illustrate key points, such as estimating survival curves, comparing group survivals, and accounting for censoring and truncation. A background in linear regression, categorical data analysis, calculus, and the R system is assumed. This book is suitable for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in biostatistics who want to learn about survival analysis using R. The examples are straightforward yet effective in shedding light on the application of survival analysis.
