Censored Data
Introduction
This example demonstrates parameter estimation, estimation of posterior predictive
distributions, and data imputation with censored data.
About the Data
For this example, we use the censored data from 103 patients who were accepted into
the Stanford Heart Transplantation Program during the years 1967 through 1974. The
data were collected by Crowley and Hu (1977) and have been reanalyzed by
Kalbfleisch and Prentice (2002), among others. The dataset is saved in the file
transplant-a.sav.
