since I just answered in another thread with a book recommendation on
survival analysis, the only book I ever bought myself on survival
analysis is:
Klein/Moeschberger: Survival Analysis (Springer)
It has lots of "applications and maths" as you are mentioning that
this
is what you are looking for.
Two classic books which are often cited:
a) Cox/Oates: Analysis of Survival Data
b) Kalbfleisch/Prentice: The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data
In the other thread, Ben Bolker suggested the book by Therneau and
Grambsch. Unfortunately, I have no experience with that one. Please note
that Terry Therneau wrote the original version of the survival package in S.
I also borrowed the book "Survival Analysis Using S. Analysis of
Time-to-Event Data". This is a book which focuses on how to implement
various methods from survival analysis in S. This is certainly useful
but I checked usually the theory in Klein/Moeschberger. The
implementation of standard methods was easily found in the documentation
of the survival package (big thanks to Terry Therneau and Thomas Lumley!)
I hope this helps,
Roland
