Inferential Statistics from Black Hispanic Breast Cancer Survival Data by Hafiz M. R. Khan, Anshul Saxena, Elizabeth Ross, Venkataraghavan Ramamoorthy, Diana Sheehan

“…We selected a stratified random sample of Black Hispanic female patients from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to derive the statistical probability models. We used three common model building criteria which include Akaike Information Criteria (AIC), Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC), and Deviance Information Criteria (DIC) to measure the goodness of fit tests and it was found that Black Hispanic female patients survival data better fit the exponentiated exponential probability model. …”
