Natalie Rodrigue: One of the Top Most Cited Statistical Papers in History

“One of the Top Most Cited Statistical Papers in History.

‘Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations’ by Kaplan and Meier (1958).

  • One of the most cited statistical papers of all time
  • As of today, 66549 citations listed on Google Scholar
  • Published in 1958
  • Authors: by Kaplan and Meier, two American statisticians

The scientific article introduces the Kaplan-Meier estimator, a nonparametric method for estimating survival functions from incomplete data.

This method is used when observations analysis are censored: when subjects drop out from the study early or never experience the event of interest by the time the study ends.

Brilliant work about censored observations.

I cannot believe that it’s been 25 years since I first taught a survival analysis (biomedical research)/reliability (engineering) course!

When did you first hear about this paper?

Feel free to share you experience in using this method.”
