I was amazed at the VitalSource way of presenting the books....
Everything looks perfectly typeset, but yet you can "flip"
through the book in the same way you would "flip" through a very
long web page in your web browser. And best of all, whenever I
have my tablet with me, my books are just a swipe away.

Comment from the Stata technical groupThis book provides an excellent introduction to the field of survival (duration) analysis for the social scientist. The mathematics are kept to a bare minimum, with more emphasis on the substantive issues behind the methods being demonstrated. Indeed, the authors are adept at explaining even the most complex mathematical and technical concepts through well-worded, descriptive text. Examples from the social sciences (e.g., a duration analysis of U.N. peacekeeping missions) are distributed throughout the text. This text also provides an excellent survey of the current state of the art in survival analysis, regardless of the field of application. Beginning with the basics—hazards and survival functions, parametric models, etc.—the discussion then extends toward advanced topics, such as models for correlated data (frailty models) and models for multiple events, e.g., competing risks. We highly recommend this book to researchers who are exploring advanced topics in survival analysis for the first time, as this text does a good job of mapping out the available methods and distinguishing between alternative new methods for analyzing the same types of data. The bibliography is also quite thorough. |
