If you are new to survival analysis or want to expand your capabilities in this area, you will benefit from Alan Cantor's follow-up to Extending SAS Survival Analysis Techniques for Medical Research. This second edition presents the theory and methods of survival analysis along with excellent discussions of the SAS procedures used to implement the methods described. New features include a discussion of permutation and randomization tests; a discussion of the use of data imputation; an improved discussion of power for Cox regression; new features found in SAS Version 9, such as confidence bands for the Kaplan-Meier curve; appendixes that cover mathematical and statistical background topics needed in survival analysis; and student exercises. The new features, along with several useful macros and numerous examples, make SAS Survival Analysis Techniques for Medical Research, Second Edition, a suitable textbook for a course in survival analysis for biostatistics majors and majors in related fields. This book excels at presenting complex ideas in a way that enables those without a strong technical background to utilize the concepts and techniques presented within.
