Arranged in an A-Z format, "Survival and Event Analysis", edited by Niels Keiding and Per Andersen, will contain 96 articles written by over 60 distinguished authors. The articles are taken from the Encyclopedia of Statistics, second edition (EOB2), and includes 12 articles which were especially commissioned for EOB2 (which published in early 2005), 15 articles which were substantially revised for EOB2, and a significant number of others which only required minor revision for EOB2 to ensure their topicality. The remaining articles remain unchanged from the first edition of the Encyclopedia of Biostatistics.
