Hi Göran, the R package NADA is specifically designed for left-censored data: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/useR-2008/slides/Helsel+Lee.pdf The function cenreg() in NADA is a front end to survreg(). Christian Göran Broström wrote: > On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 2:27 PM, Terry Therneau <[E

Use the survreg function. There are many different ways to parameterize a Weibull. The survreg function imbeds it a general location-scale familiy, which is a different parameterization than the rweibull function. > y <- rweibull(1000, shape=2, scale=5) > survreg(Surv(y)~1, dist="weibull"

[R] Fitting weibull and exponential distributions to left censoring data

2008-10-28 Thread Borja Soto Varela
Dear R-users I have some datasets, all left-censoring, and I would like to fit distributions to (weibull,exponential, etc..). I read one solution using the function survreg in the survival package. i.e survreg(Surv(...)~1, dist="weibull") but it returns only the scale parameter. Does anyone know h
