Counting Processes and Survival Analysis
by Thomas R. Fleming, David P. Harrington
2013 · John Wiley & Sons
The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists. "The book is a valuable completion of the literature in this field. It is written in an ambitious mathematical style and can be recommended to statisticians as well as biostatisticians." -Biometrische Zeitschrift "Not many books manage to combine convincingly topics from probability theory over mathematical statistics to applied statistics. This is one of them. The book has other strong points to recommend it: it is written with meticulous care, in a lucid style, general results being illustrated by examples from statistical theory and practice, and a bunch of exercises serve to further elucidate and elaborate on the text." -Mathematical Reviews "This book gives a thorough introduction to martingale and counting process methods in survival analysis thereby filling a gap in the literature." -Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete/Mathematics Abstracts "The authors have performed a valuable service to researchers in providing this material in [a] self-contained and accessible form. . . This text [is] essential reading for the probabilist or mathematical statistician working in the area of survival analysis." -Short Book Reviews, International Statistical Institute Counting Processes and Survival Analysis explores the martingale approach to the statistical analysis of counting processes, with an emphasis on the application of those methods to censored failure time data. This approach has proven remarkably successful in yielding results about statistical methods for many problems arising in censored data. A thorough treatment of the calculus of martingales as well as the most important applications of these methods to censored data is offered. Additionally, the book examines classical problems in asymptotic distribution theory for counting process methods and newer methods for graphical analysis and diagnostics of censored data. Exercises are included to provide practice in applying martingale methods and insight into the calculus itself.
This book presents the latest research in two leading areas of physics - astrophysics and condensed matter.
Tumors of the Testis and Adjacent Structures
by Thomas M. Ulbright, Robert H. Young, American Registry of Pathology
2013
This edition represents a significant expansion of both the textual and illustrative material of the previous volume. The numerous images reflect the authors' belief that the "atlas" role that was the intent of the original edition is of paramount importance in this work. At the same time, the current scope is no longer primarily that of a visual resource, but also a comprehensive guide to clinical, pathologic, immunohistochemical, molecular biologic, prognostic, and to a limited extent, therapeutic aspects of the various entities. For this reason, the authors have greatly expanded coverage of the immunohistochemical and molecular features of the various lesions, recognising that such information is quickly supplemented by new observations. Nonetheless, they continue to believe that careful gross examination and routine light microscopic observations are the foundations for diagnosis of these neoplasms and neoplastic-like processes. A complement to Tumors of the Prostate Gland, Seminal Vesicles, Penis, and Scrotum, this volume will serve as an outstanding resource for the diagnosis of testicular neoplasms for pathologists at all levels of experience.
Simone Carter, a 30 year old neurosurgeon in Chicago, is plagued with memories of her dead father. As she sinks deeper into depression, her relationships with everyone around her falls apart, and she struggles to make a decision that might ultimately prove to be her downfall.
