The method only requires information from individuals who have experienced the event of interest, and automatically controls for multiplicative time-invariant confounders, even when these are unmeasured or unknown. It is increasingly being used in epidemiology, most frequently to study the safety of vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features of the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA thorough yet accessible description of the SCCS method, with mathematical details provided in separate starred sections.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive discussion of assumptions and how they may be verified.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA detailed account of different SCCS models, extensions of the SCCS method, and the design of SCCS studies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive practical illustrations and worked examples from epidemiology.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull computer code from the associated R package SCCS, which includes all the data sets used in the book.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is aimed at a broad range of readers, including epidemiologists and medical statisticians who wish to use the SCCS method, and also researchers with an interest in statistical methodology.
