This document is intended to note errors and typos in this textbook authored by David G. Kleinbaum and Mitchel Klein (see publisher page here).
- page 52: True/False question 14 should state "ten times as high" instead of "ten times higher"
- page 63: the Group 2 (placebo) table labels the estimated survival with an S upside down hat
- page 69: the observed-expected for group 2 should have sum of positive 10.26
- page 70: "chi2(2)" should be "chi2(1)" in bottom box
- page 82: The formula for 95% CI for median survival is missing +/- symbol
- page 103: "-0.520" should be "0.520" in second box from the top
- page 118: there is a stray closing parenthesis in the box
- page 120: "viem" should be "view"
- page 120: "cunzes" should be "curves"
- page 121: "0.5" should be "1" in the adjusted survival when rx = 1, which leads to a multiplier of 400.9, not 210.6
- page 129: "SURVT" should be "TIME" in the codebook under the table
- page 167, "-ln-ln S)" should be "-ln(-ln S)"
- page 169: the line "= \sum_{i=1}^{p} \beta_i X_i + \ln\left[-\ln S_0(t)\right]" is duplicated
- page 176: missing symbol in equation in bottom graph
- page 225: "e^{\beta_2}" should be "e^{\beta_1}" in two places
