R help - Nov 2013 - R- package for Parametric Survival Analysis with Left-censored data

Dear All,

I am new to R. Can someone please direct me to an R package using which I can
estimate a Parametric Survival Analysis model with Left-censored (delayed entry)
data in it.

I recently received reviewers comment on my submitted article, where the
reviewer suggested that only R has capabilities of estimating above mentioned
survival model. However, I am not able to figure which specific package in R,
the reviewer was referring to.

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated !!

cheers,

Vinod Mishra

Look at:

?Surv 

... after loading the survival package. (I do think you would be advised to seek
statistical consultation.)
