Two classic books which are often cited: a) Cox/Oates: Analysis of Survival Data b) Kalbfleisch/Prentice: The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data
In the other thread, Ben Bolker suggested the book by Therneau and Grambsch. Unfortunately, I have no experience with that one. Please note that Terry Therneau wrote the original version of the survival package in S. I also borrowed the book "Survival Analysis Using S. Analysis of Time-to-Event Data". This is a book which focuses on how to implement various methods from survival analysis in S. This is certainly useful but I checked usually the theory in Klein/Moeschberger. The implementation of standard methods was easily found in the documentation of the survival package (big thanks to Terry Therneau and Thomas Lumley!) I hope this helps, Roland ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
