VSBfromH 74 Posted December 30, 2008 More Steve Jobs news gossip... I'd just been looking at this very thread, and (quite unconnected) then went on seconds later to stumble upon the headline Apple industry icon dies from cancer. However, as you will see, it's not Mr Jobs. Sorry for doing an "iain", just thought it was rather ironic and a weird coincidence! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CieloAzor 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Anytime it's Dec. 31st and a headline comes out entitled Apple Rumors: CEO Steve Jobs on Deathbed, Prognosis Poor, I think it's a mistake not to include the aforementioned party on your list. Particularly in pools scored by age, as Jobs is relatively young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmh8300 2 Posted January 15, 2009 Ominous indeed. As a sufferer of pancreatic cancer about four years ago, the info on wikipedia that "5-year survival is less than 5%" must not be comforting.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 16, 2009 Statistically speaking, and you should never use statistics to determine your unique case, the type of cancer Jobs had/has has a 65-85% five year survival rate. Yeah, but he was diagnosed in 2004.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadtowrites 2 Posted January 16, 2009 Statistics 101 All statistics are meaningless 1. Sample size - In medical studies, as with all scientific testing, results should withstand rigorous scrutiny. Studies should therefore be based on an adequate sample size. 2. Average - Is just a word in the dictionary. Forget qualitative, think quantitative. Example: The Gaussian distribution A symmetrical distribution based around a mean. This means that 50% of the population lie ABOVE the mean. If the average survival rate of disease X was 5 years then 50% of the population would, on average, live longer than five years, assuming of course the population follows a Gaussian distribution. (The distribution could be wider than that with confidence intervals set many years after that "average magic year of death". 3. 57% of statistics are made up on the spot. 4. Statistics in the hands of laymen can and generally are (mis)interpreted any which way they like. The media are especially evil in this respect (revisit MMR sites for confirmation). 5. 65-85% five year survival rate means that between 65 to 85% live to AT LEAST five years beyond diagnosis. Steve Jobs having being diagnosed in 2004, arbitrarily lets say Jan 2004, means that he has survived 5 years so far and thus not in the 15-35% of population that are expected to die before the fifth year. From this statement we do not know what the distribution is like nor can we infer anything more. Seeing all the data is critical, diagrams help, though stats can be manipulated just ask any government. Qualitative statements do not give the full picture. 6. Steve Jobs is on my DDP team All statistics are meaningless. QED Statistically speaking, and you should never use statistics to determine your unique case, the type of cancer Jobs had/has has a 65-85% five year survival rate. Yeah, but he was diagnosed in 2004.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
