CRC Press Multivariate Survival Analysis and Competing Risks - CRC Press

Multivariate Survival Analysis and Competing Risks from Chapman and Hall/CRC extends classical survival analysis into multivariate frameworks, addressing a significant gap in statistical literature. This comprehensive text introduces univariate survival analysis before progressing to multivariate methods, competing risks, and counting processes. The book combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, featuring real-world examples, worked exercises, and R code throughout. Coverage includes survival distributions, frailty models, parametric and semi-parametric methods, multivariate data structures, copulas, and continuous failure analysis. Designed for graduate-level study, this text serves researchers and statisticians working with complex survival data where multiple events or dependencies require sophisticated analytical approaches beyond standard univariate techniques.
