This is the second edition of a practical book on using R for survival and event history analysis. There is an emphasis on applying the methods to problems from the social sciences through detailed real-world examples. The book has been updated with new chapters on reproducible research and register-based methods, and updates throughout.

Göran Broström is professor emeritus of Statistics at the Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research, Umeå University. He has a PhD in mathematical statistics from Umeå University (1979). He is the author of two R packages, eha and glmmML, available on CRAN.
