Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Edward L. Kaplan,Paul Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillosis
TL;DR: This review focuses on the biology of A. fumigatus, one of the most ubiquitous of the airborne saprophytic fungi, and the diseases it causes, and discusses discussions of genomic and molecular characterization of the organism.
Aspergillus fumigatus and aspergillosis.
TL;DR: A review of the biology of Aspergillus fumigatus and the diseases it causes can be found in this article, where the authors discuss genomic and molecular characterization of the organism, clinical and laboratory methods available for the diagnosis of aspergillosis in immunocompetent and immunOCompromised hosts, identification of host and fungal factors that play a role in the establishment of the fungus in vivo, and problems associated with antifungal therapy.
