I have a question concerning a non parametric estimator for left truncated
and right censored data. I see that the function
survfit(Surv(time1, time2, status) ~ group, data=mydata)
(where time1= left truncation time
time2= follow=up time
status= 0:censored 1:not censored)
do this, but what's the method used? Is it a Lynden-Bell (Woodroofe)
estimator or something else?
Regards
