larynx

A study of 90 males with laryngeal cancer was performed, comparing survival times. Each patient's age, year of 
diagnosis, and disease stage was noted, see Kardaun (1983) and Klein and Moeschberger (2003).

The function SurvRegCens() of this package allows estimation of a Weibull Regression for a right-censored endpoint, one interval-censored covariate, and an arbitrary number of non-censored covariates. Additional functions allow to switch between different parametrizations of Weibull regression used by different R functions, inference for the mean difference of two arbitrarily censored Normal samples, and estimation of canonical parameters from censored samples for several distributional assumptions.
