Publisher's Synopsis

The basic Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox models routinely done to answer time-to-event questions are no longer sufficient to address today's research questions. This book has the potential to change the practice of how people handle this type of data by combining these newer concepts with practical advice and code for implementing them. The book will allow the authors to expand material provided in the R survival package vignettes.

Key Features:

The book will include minimal code, and the examples will just be available online as a bookdown document

Imparts intuitive understanding and practical knowledge for more complex survival analysis

Illustrates functionalities in R survival packages that aren't as well-known

Presents best practices and how to avoid common errors

Provides fully worked examples using publicly available data sets
