Edition
An Introduction to Survival Analysis Using Stata, Third
Edition provides the foundation to understand various
approaches for analyzing time-to-event data. It is not only a
tutorial for learning survival analysis but also a valuable
reference for using Stata to analyze survival data. Although the
book assumes knowledge of statistical principles, simple
probability, and basic Stata, it takes a practical, rather than
mathematical, approach to the subject.

This updated third edition highlights new features of Stata 11,
including competing-risks analysis and the treatment of missing
values via multiple imputation. Other additions include new
diagnostic measures after Cox regression, Stata’s new treatment
of categorical variables and interactions, and a new syntax for
obtaining prediction and diagnostics after Cox regression.

After reading this book, you will understand the formulas and
gain intuition about how various survival analysis estimators
work and what information they exploit. You will also acquire
deeper, more comprehensive knowledge of the syntax, features, and
underpinnings of Stata’s survival analysis routines.
