Survival Analysis Using the SAS System: A Practical Guide

Rating:
Summary: Extraordinarily Clear and Useful
Review: I've used a number of this author's books and they all share in common lucidity, utility, and rigor. This book makes it easy to grasp complex ideas, provides comprehensible examples, gives sample SAS code so that implementing the methods is as straightforward as possible. Plus, it is clear that the author is a subtle and first-rate methodologist, who innovates in this area as well as teaches it.

Summary: Best how-to book on survival analysis using SAS. Very useful
Review: This book is well-written, well-organized, and very practical. I found it invaluable in conducting my research. My only recommendation for the author for his next edition is to include a chapter on dealing with correlated event times, like time-to-promotion and time-to-quiting in his policemen example (pg 249).

Summary: A godsend
Review: This text is remarkably clear and to the point. Allison does a wonderful job of explaining both the logic behind the various models used in survival analysis and the necessary SAS programming.
