R help - May 2007 - Library & Package for Tobit regression

Hello R-Users:
 
I am want to use tobit regression for left censored panel/longitudinal data.
Could you please provide me the name of "library" and/or
"package" that will give me option of fitting tobit regression model
for longitudinal data?
 
Thank you. 
 
Sattar

"Library" differs from "package" in R.

Roughly:
"package" is a collection of functions and data implementing certain
functionality.
"library" is a collection of packages.

Dear Sattar,

You can use the survreg function in the survival package, which is part of
the standard R distribution. [BTW, help.search("Tobit") would have led
you
to that.] There are other possibilities as well -- e.g., the tobit function
in the VGAM package.

I hope this helps,
 John
