R help - Mar 2005 - Interval censoring in Survival analysis

Hi,

I would like to know if R programme allows doing different kinds of censoring in
his last version. What kind of package should I use and is this censoring
applicable to parametric and semi-parametric(Cox) models?

Thanks,
?lex.

To some extent.

The "survival" package allows left censoring and interval censoring,
but
only for parametric models.  The Icens package estimates survival curves 
for interval censored data (including multivariate times), but does not do 
regression.

I am not aware of any package that allows semiparametric regression 
modelling of interval censored or doubly censored data.
