Survival Distributions: Reliability Applications in the Biomedical Sciences 1975. Great condition. Dust jacket has a few suffs on edges, but cover is not damaged.

"Now a book describes nonparametric and parametric techniques to help you achieve more reliable survival distributions. And it is the first book on the use of survival distributions in biomedical application. The authors provide you with: an introduction to the commonly used survival distributions; detailed applications of clinical life tables; mathematical and graphical techniques for accurately selecting appropriate survival distributions to fit survival data; models for analyzing growth in reliability for clinical trials and industrial applications; a complete methodology for comparing two treatment groups when length of survival is the comparison criterion; new help for choosing, in advance of clinical trial, a number of patients required for an adequate sample. The books illustrate the applications of these techniques with numerous examples, drawing on actual data to make them more meaningful to your work .In addition, tables of special distribution parameters are available for the first time in a book. And its annotated bibliography, with more that 180 references, gives you easy access to the wealth of valuable material on both survival and reliability.
