The need to understand, interpret and analyse competing risk data is key to many areas of science, particularly medical research. There is a real need for a book that presents an overview of methodology used in the interpretation and analysis of competing risks, with a focus on practical applications to medical problems, and incorporating modern techniques. This book fills that need by presenting the most up-to-date methodology, in a way that can be readily understood, and applied, by the practitioner.

Melania Pintilie is the author of Competing Risks: A Practical Perspective, published by Wiley.

"Competing Risks: A Practical Perspective is a second text in the field that will help statisticians and researchers understand the complexity of the competing-risks problem and to complete the required analysis. I am glad to have it on my shelf. It meets the state goal of the Statistics in Practice series." (Technometrics, August 2008)
