  2. Survival analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_analysis

    This example uses the Acute Myelogenous Leukemia survival data set "aml" from the "survival" package in R. The data set is from Miller (1997) [1] and the question is whether the standard course of chemotherapy should be extended ('maintained') for additional cycles. The aml data set sorted by survival time is shown in the box.

  3. Capacity of a set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_of_a_set

    In mathematics, the capacity of a set in Euclidean space is a measure of the "size" of that set. Unlike, say, Lebesgue measure , which measures a set's volume or physical extent, capacity is a mathematical analogue of a set's ability to hold electrical charge .

  4. Censoring (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censoring_(statistics)

    A common misconception with time interval data is to class as left censored intervals where the start time is unknown. In these cases we have a lower bound on the time interval, thus the data is right censored (despite the fact that the missing start point is to the left of the known interval when viewed as a timeline!).

  5. Excess mortality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_mortality

    In May 2020, the Human Mortality Database project launched a new data series, the Short-term Mortality Fluctuation series (STMF), offering freely available weekly death counts by age and sex for a growing number of countries (34 in October 2020), as well as a visualization tool that captures the excess mortality on a weekly basis. The STMF was ...

  6. Killed or seriously injured - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killed_or_Seriously_Injured

    Fatal injury. To be used where death occurs within thirty consecutive 24-hour time periods from the time of the crash. Incapacitating injury. Any injury, other than a fatal injury, which prevents the injured person from walking, driving or normally continuing the activities the person was capable of performing before the injury occurred.

  7. Clinical death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death

    Reduced body temperature, or therapeutic hypothermia, during clinical death slows the rate of injury accumulation, and extends the time period during which clinical death can be survived. The decrease in the rate of injury can be approximated by the Q 10 rule, which states that the rate of biochemical reactions decreases by a factor of two for ...

  8. Mortality rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortality_rate

    The crude death rate is defined as "the mortality rate from all causes of death for a population," calculated as the "total number of deaths during a given time interval" divided by the "mid-interval population", per 1,000 or 100,000; for instance, the population of the United States was around 290,810,000 in 2003, and in that year, approximately 2,419,900 deaths occurred in total, giving a ...

  9. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    In the context of computing, the metric prefixes are often intended to mean something other than their normal meaning. For example, a kilobyte is actually 1024 bytes even though the standard meaning of kilo is 1000. And, mega normally means one million, but in computing is often used to mean 2 20 = 1 048 576. The table below illustrates the ...
