Description for Survival Analysis with Long Term Survivors
Hardcover. The data analytic methods routinely applied in the analysis of recidivism data in criminology have been expanded to include immune individuals. This book describes the theory and methods of incorporating them. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 304 pages, references, index. BIC Classification: JKV; MBGR; MBNS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 244 x 166 x 22. Weight in Grams: 596.
The aim of this book is to suggest and exemplify a systematic methodology for analysing survival data which contains "immune", or "cured" individuals, denoted generically as "long-term survivors". Such data occurs in medical and epidemiological applications, where the intention may be to identify whether or not cured or immune individuals are present in a population, perhaps as a result of treatments given; in the analysis of recidivism data in criminology, where the intentions are similar with respect to prisoners released from and possibly returning to prison; and in many other areas where followup data is available on individuals, with the ...
