The Biostatistics of Aging
Opis
Featuring a multidisciplinary approach with practical examples from biology, gerontology, and demography, The Biostatistics of Aging provides a statistical theoretical framework for aging and aging-related diseases in addition to genetic and environmental contributions to mortality. The text provides doctoral and graduate level students, practitioners, and researchers with age-relatedness and details how it can be applied and used within various disciplines, including medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, and demography. Original results on the asymptotic behavior of the minimum of time-to-event random variables are included.
