[R] survreg with measurement uncertainties

[Andrews, Chris]

survreg allows interval censored data, if that is how you want to represent measurement uncertainty.  See

?Surv

Subject: [R] survreg with measurement uncertainties

Hello,

I have some measurements that I am trying to fit a model to.  I also have uncertainties for these measurements.  Some of the measurements are not well detected, so I'd like to use a limit instead of the actual measurement.  (I am always dealing with upper limits, i.e. left censored data.)

I have successfully run survreg using the combination of well detected measurements and limits, but I would like to include the measurement uncertainty (for the well detected measurements) in the fitting.  As far as I can tell, survreg doesn't support this.  Does anyone have a suggestion for how to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Kyle
