This articles develops and demonstrates a statistical methodology to assess the statistical significance of an estimated chance for more survival time by tweaking the exponential distribution in a novel manner. This methodology is useful for the surgeons as much as to the patients who plan to undergo kidney removal.}, journal = {International Journal of Research in Nursing}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
