In R the survival analysis functions live in the 'survival5' package.
survreg() is the nearest equivalent to CensorReg. It fits parametric
survival models.  coxph() fits semiparametric proportional hazards models.
They both allow left-truncation. survreg() in addition allows
left-censoring and interval censoring.

PS: CensorReg() is not in S. It's in recent versions of S-PLUS.
