Developing the statistical concepts unique to survival data, An Introduction to Survival Analysis Using Stata, Revised Edition includes statistical theory, step-by-step procedures for analyzing survival data, a detailed usage guide for Stata's most widely used st commands, and pointers for using Stata to analyze survival data and present the results. The first several chapters cover basic theoretical concepts as well as censoring and truncation. The next few chapters describe the formatting, manipulation, stsetting, and error-checking involved in preparing survival data for analysis using Stata's st analysis commands. The book also discusses Cox regression and includes various examples of fitting a Cox model, obtaining predictions, interpreting results, building models, and modeling diagnostics. The final chapters cover parametric models, which are fitted using Stata's streg command.

For all of you who had no idea of what Survival Analysis (SA) are, this book can give you a hand to clearly and step by step understand the SA. Furthermore, not only understanding Survival Analysis, but also executing them with STATA. Good things are that you do not have to be an expert in STATA however you need to have the basics in STATA. Otherwise you will be lost as authors wrote the book for persons with basics skills on STATA. The English used is very simple and math requirements are medium-high level (most of time medium). I?m currently using it for a research project and had given good results so far in the analysis of data and the interpretation. It should be remark, that I had used the book for training at a master level for people with low statistic background and the book worked perfectly.
Limitations of the book are that if you all ready know about Survival Analysis first 5 chapters will be extremely boring so you just skip to the other chapters. If you have a degree in statistics the book will be very simple and not challenging unless you are starting with STATA program. For all other aspects, the book is a good reference for your personal library especially if you focus in Epidemiology/Statistics field.
