Two questions: I have a lot of data for which the last of each of the repeated individual obserations is censored. Apart from the suite in survival, which seems to be very complex to a new R user, is there any other simple function that exists in CRAN library (I have most of these but haven't found one!) that is essentially the same as lm() but with an additional censor argument (vector of -1,0,1 say, recalling my GLIM background) so that the left, uncensored or right censored data may be simply analysed. Obviously I could write my own fairly simply using nlm() and model frames but just asking ... if I write my own, I can post it on the list. The second question relates to a few problems with glm() that have been found today and recently (the offset problem) by Jim comparing with his own glmm() function. I don't follow the r-bugs list (these things are too depressing!) but are these bugs either serious, occasional or a result of esoteric problems? One would like to know since I don't have immediate access to (say) S+ to see whether the results are the same (or the errors reproduced). \John -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
