Multidisciplinary strategies for the management of heart failure patients at high risk for admission: A systematic review of randomized trials
TL;DR: Multidisciplinary strategies for the management of patients with HF reduce HF hospitalizations and those programs that involve specialized follow-up by a multidisciplinary team also reduce mortality and all-cause hospitalizations.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Edward L. Kaplan,Paul Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Statistical methods for rates and proportions
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is used to detect a difference between two different proportions of a given proportion in a single proportion.

Individual Comparisons by Ranking Methods
TL;DR: The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a series of paired comparisons, some of which may be positive and some negative as mentioned in this paper.

Statistical Methods for Research Workers
TL;DR: The prime object of as discussed by the authors is to put into the hands of research workers, and especially of biologists, the means of applying statistical tests accurately to numerical data accumulated in their own laboratories or available in the literature.
