This practical guide shows why the analytic methods work and how to effectively analyze and interpret epidemiologic and medical survival data with the help of modern computer systems. The introduction presents a review of a variety of statistical methods that are not only key elements of survival analysis but are also central to statistical analysis in general. Techniques such as statistical tests, transformations, confidence intervals, and analytic modeling are presented in the context of survival data but are, in fact, statistical tools that apply to understanding the analysis of many kinds

The primary objective of the study was to estimate the level of infectious gastrointestinal disease attributable to drinking water. The study enrolled three groups of individuals served by different water sources. The approach was to compare rates of enteric illnesses in the three cohorts before changes were made in drinking water treatment at one site with enteric illness rates after the change occurred. A secondary objective was to determine if drinking-water-attributable endemic levels of gastrointestinal diseases are elevated in a community that uses unfiltered water from a well-protected
