Can anybody give me a neat example of interval censored data analysis codes in
R?
Given that suvreg(Surv(c(1,1,NA,3),c(2,NA,2,3),type="interval2")~1)
works why does
survreg(Surv(data[,1],data[,2],type="interval2")~1)
not work where
data is :
T.1 T.2 Status
1 0.0000000 0.62873036 1
2 0.0000000 2.07039068 1

You are specifying left-truncated, right-censored data, not interval-censored.
You need the type= argument, eg
> Surv(c(1,1,NA,3),c(2,NA,2,3),type="interval2")
[1] [1, 2] 1+ 2- 3
specifies interval censoring at [1,2], right-censoring at 1, left-censoring at
2, and an observed event at 3.
