Estimate the Induction Time Distribution for a Disease 

A group of 258 patients with AIDS had been exposed to HIV through blood transfusion on a known date. Patients who had not developed AIDS before the end of the study are not included (right truncation).

Create a kernel density estimate of the AIDS induction time distribution and compute its mean.
