MASS and RMS are more often helpful to them than Cox and Hinkley and Feller Vol 2, though both those -- along with Kendall and Stuart -- were very valuable to my own background] | |

I often ask prospective research students to read Harrell, or at the very least chapter 4, and then often recommend MASS as a good general book to make sure they have familiarity with. | |
