Summary:	Provides an outstanding text for upper-level and graduate courses in survival analysis, biostatistics, and time-to-event analysis. This edition features a more detailed treatment of topics such as parametric models, accelerated failure time models, and the analysis of interval-censored data. The author also focuses the software section on the use of SAS, summarising the methods used by the software to generate its output and examining that output in detail.
