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.
