SAS Survival Analysis Techniques for Medical Research, Second Edition (Hardcover Edition)

By: Alan B. Cantor

If you are new to survival analysis or want to expand your capabilities in this area, you'll benefit from Alan Cantor's SAS Survival Analysis Techniques for Medical Research, Second Edition, which presents the theory and methods of survival analysis along with excellent discussions of the SAS procedures used to implement the methods described. New features of the second edition include a discussion of permutation and randomization tests; a discussion of the use of data imputation; an expanded discussion of power for Cox regression; descriptions of the new features of SAS 9, such as confidence bands for the Kaplan-Meier curve; appendixes that cover mathematical and statistical background topics needed in survival analysis; and student exercises. The new features, along with several useful macros and numerous examples, make this a suitable textbook for a course in survival analysis for biostatistics majors and majors in related fields. This book excels at presenting complex ideas in a way that enables those without a strong technical background to understand and apply the concepts and techniques.

Stability of Microstructure in Metallic Systems

By: J. W. Martin,R. D. Doherty,B. Cantor

The second edition of this textbook, popular amongst students and faculty alike, investigates the various causes of thermodynamic instability in metallic microstructures. Materials theoretically well designed for a particular application may prove inefficient or even useless unless stable under normal working conditions. The authors examine current experimental and theoretical understanding of the kinetics behind structural change in metals. The entire text has been updated in this new edition, and a completely new chapter on highly metastable alloys has been added. The degree to which kinetic stability of the material outweighs its thermodynamic instability is very important, and dictates the useful working life of the material. If the structure is initially produced to an optimum, such changes will degrade the properties of the material. This comprehensive and well-illustrated text, accompanied by ample references, will allow final year undergraduates, graduate students and research workers to investigate in detail the stability of microstructure in metallic systems.

Solidification and Casting

By: B. Cantor,Keyna O'Reilly

Written by leading experts in their respective fields, Solidification and Casting provides a comprehensive review of topics fundamental to metallurgy and materials science as well as indicates recent trends. From an industrial perspective, the book begins with chapters on the casting techniques most commonly used in industry today. It then describes the underlying science fundamental to solidification mechanisms, including fluid flow, the effects of cooling rates, modern simulation, and modelling methods in use and their application in various casting scenarios. Next, the authors consider the microstructure of cast materials and their defects, and explore how different casting processes can control these parameters. The book concludes with the most recent developments in the field and discusses new processes and materials, such as novel alloys and composites, metallic glasses, ceramics, and superconducting oxides.
