Other than error correcting, is there any new material in ASM 3rd edition?

I don't know if there is added material in the new manual, but there are still a ton of errors. Make sure that if you get that one that you ask Abe for a revised version of the errata list. Also, if you see an error, don't be afraid to ask him, he is very appriciative. I know if I wasn't taking this exam, you could not pay me enough money to proofread that and make sure all the math works properly

The 4th edition incorporates most of the errata. I have also rewritten some of the Survival Analysis material (Right truncation and the Cox model) and added a page (and one problem) on q-q plots.
