censorContVar {SurvRegCensCov}

Censor a vector of continuous numbers

Description

Given a vector of realizations of a continuous random variable, interval-, left-, or right-censor these numbers at given boundaries. Useful when setting up simulations involving censored observations.

Usage

censorContVar(x, LLOD = NA, ULOD = NA)

Arguments

x

Vector of random numbers.

LLOD

Lower limit where x should be left-censored at. If no left-censoring, set to NA.

ULOD

Upper limit where x should be left-censored at. If no left-censoring, set to NA.

Value

A data.frame as specified by code = interval2 in Surv.
