- Zusatztext
- This book covers competing risks and multistate models, sometimes summarized as event history analysis. These models generalize the analysis of time to a single event (survival analysis) to analysing the timing of distinct terminal events (competing risks) and possible intermediate events (multistate models). Both R and multistate methods are promoted with a focus on nonparametric methods.
- Kurztext
- This book explains hazard-based analyses of competing risks and multistate data using the R statistical programming code, placing special emphasis on interpretation of results. Includes real data examples, and encourages readers to simulate their own data.
