Mar 21, 2014 at 14:27 comment added whuber Whether you count cases of mortality or not doesn't matter, because they are two equivalent ways of representing the same outcome. Your argument, applied to counting the number of survivors (rather than the number of deaths), implies that with a sample size of 0 you should use 0% as your estimate of survivorship. The obvious inconsistency between this and the 0% mortality claim made in (2) shows that your argument is inherently flawed.
Mar 21, 2014 at 14:15 comment added JupiterM104 I don't think I can follow your argument/logic. Are you able to state this in a different way?
