Beschreibung

This book covers competing risks and multistate models, sometimes summarized as event history analysis. These models generalize the analysis of time to a single event (survival analysis) to analysing the timing of distinct terminal events (competing risks) and possible intermediate events (multistate models). Both R and multistate methods are promoted with a focus on nonparametric methods.

Zusammenfassung

This book enables the reader to analyse complex time-to-event data himself, using the free open source language R for statistical computing

The data situations considered are competing risks--several, mutually exclusive event types and multistate models, that track an individuals history through different stages over time. These methods are a generalization of the now classical survivalanalysis--the analysis of time to one single event. Such data occur in a variety of fields, including life sciences, social sciences, economics and engineering

The methods are explained on a non-technical level and instantly carried out in R. This book covers data structures, simulating data, analyses of real life data and plotting
