About this title

Synopsis

Developing the statistical concepts unique to survival data, An Introduction to Survival Analysis Using Stata, Revised Edition includes statistical theory, step-by-step procedures for analyzing survival data, a detailed usage guide for Stata's most widely used st commands, and pointers for using Stata to analyze survival data and present the results.

The first several chapters cover basic theoretical concepts as well as censoring and truncation. The next few chapters describe the formatting, manipulation, stsetting, and error-checking involved in preparing survival data for analysis using Stata's st analysis commands. The book also discusses Cox regression and includes various examples of fitting a Cox model, obtaining predictions, interpreting results, building models, and modeling diagnostics. The final chapters cover parametric models, which are fitted using Stata's streg command.
