Abstract
This chapter presents mathematical and statistical background for understanding this book. Some results and formulae presented in this chapter are revisited in the next chapters. Initially, important survival analysis concepts are de ned and issues with respect to inference and statistical methods. Subsequently, several special functions are presented. The chapter ends with some discussions on statistical elements that will be used in the rest of the book.
