Techniques for Censored and Truncated Data
This textbook by John P. Klein focuses on statistical methods for analyzing censored and truncated data, with an emphasis on biological and medical applications.
Description
Techniques for censored and truncated data are essential for applied statisticians who analyze time-to-event data. This book covers methods for handling the complexity of censoring and truncation, where survival data is often only known within certain periods or is associated with selection criteria. Both classical techniques and modern methods based on counting processes are presented in an accessible way, without requiring in-depth mathematical background knowledge. Practical usability is enhanced by practical and technical notes in each section. This reference work is suitable for researchers working with censored or truncated survival data and also serves as a textbook in advanced statistics courses.
