Multivariate Survival Analysis and Competing Risks - Martin J. (Imperial College Crowder - Bog

Suitable for graduate students and researchers in statistics and biostatistics as well as those in the medical field, epidemiology, and social sciences, this book introduces univariate survival analysis and extends it to the multivariate case. It also covers competing risks and counting processes and provides many real-world examples, exercises, and R code. The text discusses survival data, survival distributions, frailty models, parametric methods, multivariate data and distributions, copulas, continuous failure, parametric likelihood inference, and non- and semi-parametric methods.
