Title: Can use a bit more interpretation
Review: One of the previous reviews said that it is just a bunch of Stata codes. For applied researchers, actually that is what makes it useful; so I don't think that's a weakness. You can try those codes directly to get a sense of how you can do the same analysis with your own data.The true weakness is the lack of interpretations of the results. Right now, it's just a solutions manual: if the question doesn't ask for it, they won't explain what the output means. What would have been most helpful is a detailed discussion of all the outputs that are generated after running the codes.If you are learning survival analysis on your own AND you use Stata (maybe a bit of SAS as well), then this is a great companion to the textbook.I haven't bought the book yet - got it from a library - but will when I return the book to the library.
Is the review positive or negative?
