+[This](http://src.alionscience.com/pdf/CENSOR.pdf) is a nice paper with pretty pictures explaining the different types of data censoring.
+I don't have to worry about that, since our data are uncensored (proteins being cheaper and living shorter lives than humans), but I was getting a bit nervous about what failure-censored sampling meant.
+
+In other jargon news, the [first order statistic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistics), just means the sample minimum.
