TLDR
An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.Abstract:
This Second Edition of Myles Hollander and Douglas A. Wolfe's successful Nonparametric Statistical Methods meets the needs of a new generation of users, with completely up-to-date coverage of this important statistical area. Like its predecessor, the revised edition, along with its companion ftp site, aims to equip readers with the conceptual and technical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriate procedures for a given situation. An extensive array of examples drawn from actual experiments illustrates clearly how to use nonparametric approaches to handle one- or two-sample location and dispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-way layout problems. An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.read more

The association between accounting earnings and security returns for large and small firms
TL;DR: This article examined two corollaries of Atiase's differential information hypothesis and found that security prices of large firms anticipate accounting earnings earlier than small firms, and for a given level of ‘unexpected’ earnings, the cumulative abnormal returns of small firms exceed those of large ones.

TL;DR: B-mode score is strongly, consistently, and independently associated with coronary artery disease in patients older than 50 and is at least as useful as well-known risk factors for identifying patients with coronary arteries disease.

Patterns of progression in prostate cancer.
John E. McNeal,RobertA. Kindrachuk,FuadS. Freiha,David G. Bostwick,EliseA. Redwine,ThomasA. Stamey +5 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the natural history of prostate cancer is highly predictable and the capacity to metastasise probably develops only in tumours which have grown much larger than 1 ml and acquired poorly differentiated areas as a manifestation of the phenomenon of tumour progression.

TL;DR: While long‐term patient and graft survival following liver transplantation for end‐stage liver disease secondary to HCV are generally comparable with that of most other indications, higher pretransplantationHCV‐RNA titers are strongly associated with poor survival among HCV‐infected recipients.
