"Mathematical Methods in Survival Analysis, Reliability and Quality of Life" - это книга, в которой рассматриваются важные приложения стохастических математических методов (вероятность, статистика и стохастические процессы) в областях надежности, выживаемости и качества жизни. Обычно эти темы рассматриваются раздельно, несмотря на сходство математической теории, однако данная книга ставит целью объединить их изучение. В книге представлено 21 глава, разделенных на четыре части: выживаемость, надежность, качество жизни и связанные темы. Многие из этих глав были представлены на Европейском семинаре по математическим методам в области выживаемости, надежности и качества жизни в 2006 году.
The book Mathematical Methods of Survival Analysis provides a carefully selected collection of representative case studies that show how survival analysis operates in a social context. Furthermore, it presents a first-degree introduction into survival and reliability theory from a strict mathematical standpoint. It will be useful for those who intend to get acquainted with its specificity, introduce students on a field survey, or use it as an introductory text.
This book satisfies the major demand of an introductory textbook covering most necessary ingredients in survival analysis, reliability theory, and quality of life related issues by using state-of-the-art stochastic modeling approaches. It consists of 21 richly illustrated lectures distributed over four main parts: Part I, Survival Analysis with Discrete and Continuous Times; Part II, Reliabiity Analysis; Part III, Policies in Medicine and Business Based on Preserving/Enhancing Quality of Life; and Part IV, Related Topics of Mixed Interest: Aging, Gender, End of Life Decisions, Unemployment, Uninsured Health Insurance, Experiments in Statistical Systems, Social Capital, Child Development and its Impact on Survival Analysis etc. The lack of standard introductory mathematical tools leads to limitations in designing appropriate reinforcement mechanisms that can significantly improve the potential customer's overall appreciation and sensitizing towards these practical issues.

Описание книги от Nikolaos Limnios
Reliability and survival analysis are important applications of stochastic mathematics (probability, statistics and stochastic processes) that are usually covered separately in spite of the similarity of the involved mathematical theory. This title aims to redress this situation: it includes 21 chapters divided into four parts: Survival analysis, Reliability, Quality of life, and Related topics. Many of these chapters were presented at the European Seminar on Mathematical Methods for Survival Analysis, Reliability and Quality of Life in 2006.
