The Cox Model and Its Applications
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-662-49331-1 (ISBN)
Since Sir David Cox's pioneering work in 1972, the proportional hazards model has become the most important model in survival analysis. The success of the Cox model stimulated further studies in semiparametric and nonparametric theories, counting process models, study designs in epidemiology, and the development of many other regression models that could offer more flexible or more suitable approaches in data analysis.
Flexible semiparametric regression models are increasingly being used to relate lifetime distributions to time-dependent explanatory variables. Throughout the book, various recent statistical models are developed in close connection with specific data from experimental studies in clinical trials or from observational studies.M.S. Nikulin received his Ph.D. at the V. Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow in (1973). He is a professor of statistics at the Bordeaux University since 1992. He is the author of 15 books and more than 200 papers.

"This book discusses some important parametric models as well as several semiparametric regression models. ... The book is primarily aimed at students, biostatisticians, and researchers who are interested in the application of survival analysis and reliability theory in the areas of medicine, epidemiology, clinical trials, insurance, and social science. ... The chapters include figures and examples for better understanding. The book is well referenced." (Pooja Sethi, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
