[BioC] proportianal hazard models

[Kort, Eric]

I second the motion...Kleinbaum is the most accessible introduction
 to the topic I have found (he also has an excellent self learning
 text on Logistic Regression).

After Kleinbaum, another option is Modelling Survival Data in 
Medical Research edited by Chatfield and Zidek...but this is 
much more mathematically intensive (though also much 
broader in scope) than Kleinbaum.

Dear Heike,

My "trusty" reference is S-PLUS 2000 Guide to Statistics, Volume 2 (1999)
The Cox Proportional Hazards Model Chapter 10.  You should be able to
download it at  
http://biostat.hitchcock.org/FacultyandStaff/OnlineManuals/PDF%20Files/statm
an2.pdf

If you feel up to reading a detailed book you could get
"Modeling Survival Data" Terry M. Thernaeu and Patricia M. Grambsch in
Statistics for Biology and Health series, Springer 2000.

If you are a biologist and want a better understanding of the model,
I highly recommend reading the following book first:
Survival Analysis A Self Learning text by David G. Kleinbaum, Springer, 1996


Regards
Marg

Hello again,

does somebody have any experiences with proportional hazard models with 
R/Bioconductor and can give me a suggestion where to find a good description
or 
(better) a lab on this stuff?

Thanks in advance,
Heike
