Edward L. Kaplan and the Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve
No full textIn June 1958, Edward L Kaplan (1920–2006) and Paul Meier (1924–2011) published an innovative statistical method to estimate survival curves when including incomplete observations. The Kaplan–Meier (KM) method became the standard way of reporting patient survival in medical research. For example, the KM method is used in more than 70% of clinical oncology papers. With 44,319 Web of Science® citations as of November 2017, the report has become the most-cited statistics publication in the scientific literature. Part I of this report describes the KM method, its strengths and limitations, and the history and evolution of the method. In Part II we recount the biography of the remarkable mathematician Edward L Kaplan, PhD, and his unique contributions during the formulation of the KM method, as well as his contributions to science during his unique and productive career.</p
Assessing New Jersey's Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Storms: A Companion Report to the New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance Science and Technical Advisory Panel Report
No full textThe New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance Advisory Committee requested that Rutgers University convene a Science and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) to synthesize for practitioners the most recent climate science needed to inform efforts to increase the resilience of New Jersey’s people, places, and assets (including infrastructure, communities and natural resources) to regional sea-level rise (SLR), changing coastal storms and the resulting flood risk. This companion report to the STAP report provides context for New Jersey citizens, practitioners, and decision makers to better understand how New Jersey municipal decision makers and municipal professionals consider the use of coastal hazard data; how climate change impacts from sea-level rise and changes in coastal storms are being addressed in some other areas of the Northeast; and the degree to which coastal climate change impacts are currently being addressed in New Jersey.Please cite this report as: Kaplan, M., M.
