Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series

Written by a recognized authority in frailty models, Frailty Models in Survival Analysis provides an introduction and extensive overview of gathered information on survival data that pertains to random effects. Applications in medicine, including clinical trials, (genetic) epidemiology, and demography, are presented from real data, which are then used as examples of modeling strategies. Accessible to readers with only a basic knowledge of survival analysis, the book extends the standard Cox model.

Reviews for Frailty Models in Survival Analysis

There are very few books that focus on frailty models, with the most recent one authored by Duchateau and Janssen. The present book goes beyond its predecessors by focusing not only on univariate models but also on extensions to multivariate modelling where event times are clustered. ! The main contribution of the book is that it brings together the available methodology of frailty modelling in a single monograph. The presentation is quite clear and easily understood by both specialists and non-specialists. The non-technical approach makes the reader comprehend the material and at the same time understand the capabilities of the methods and models discussed. The inclusion of several examples makes the book much more attractive than its competitors. In conclusion, the book provides a comprehensive overview of frailty models and it is well written and easy to read and understand. It serves nicely the purpose for which it was written, namely to introduce and attract attention to various issues associated with the frailty models. The book is well suited primarily for bioscience practitioners but also for students, professionals, and researchers. --Alex Karagrigoriou, Journal of Applied Statistics, 2011
