The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data Reviews

"provides excellent exposure to the theory." (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, June 2005)

"The book contains a wealth of material and analytic insightwill continue to be an invaluable resource for all researchers and graduate students in the fieldfor years to come." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2003)

"...researchers in hazard function are likely to find new and valuable information in this book..." (Journal of Mathematical Psychology, Vol. 47 2003)

"Do you work in life statistics or reliability statistics? If so, you probably need this book...it contains everything you have ever wanted to know plus a lot more...the second edition...is a great bookimproved, modernized, and comprehensive..." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 3, August 2003)

"A review of the first edition, my first contribution to Short Book Reviews...stated 'This book should become a standard reference in the field.' In view of the undeniable accuracy of that prediction, need I say more?" (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 23, No. 2, August 2003)
