Dear R-Helpers: What other references are there on the capabilities of the survival5 package other than the help files and the chapter on survival analysis in every edition of Modern Applied Statistics with S? I'm thinking of something like "An Introduction to Survival Analysis in R" with worked examples that might complement or extend the chapter in MASS. Thanks, Spencer Graves
Dear Spencer, There is a book by Therneau and Grambsch, Modeling Survival Data (Springer, 2000); Therneau is the author of the survival library for S-PLUS, ported to R. The book covers survival analysis in S-PLUS and SAS.

Spencer, Regression Modeling Strategies by FE Harrell is another good reference to compliment Therneau & Grambsch as well as MASS, particularly in regards to "worked examples".

By December there may be some R vignettes, since I'm teaching survival analysis in autumn quarter this year. -thomas
