چکیده
The poweRlaw package provides code to fit heavy tailed distributions, including discrete and continuous power-law distributions. The fitting procedure follows the method detailed in Clauset et al.1.

Correction: powerlaw: A Python Package for Analysis of Heavy-Tailed Distributions
Power laws are theoretically interesting probability distributions that are also frequently used to describe empirical data. In recent years, effective statistical methods for fitting power laws have been developed, but appropriate use of these techniques requires significant programming and statistical insight. In order to greatly decrease the barriers to using good statistical methods for fit...

Asthma is a complicated disorder, whose prevalence has increased over the past few decades.Asthma is characterized by infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes along with enhancedproinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Fungi are now far more widely being considered as thedominant extrinsic trigger for asthma. Fungi are linked to the severity of asthma in many ways. Somedifferences between studi...
