Censoring vs Truncation
Censoring
For modelling, it is often assumed that the censoring event is independent of the time
May lead to problem (biased models), if this is not the case
May not be the case: transplant studies, patient may leave because they need another treatment, patients may leave because they got better, administrative reasons
Definition: Some information is known about a part of the data. Ex: It is known that patient survived up to 180 days, but no information known beyond that since 180 is the censoring time
Circumstances
Interval censoring
Malaria example: we know the date between negative and positive, but not a precise date
Right - Left
Right: The real value for the variable of interest could not be observed, this may be due to various factors

Types

Type II
All start at the same time, but censoring happens after x failures
Following 40 lightbulbs, finish experiment once 5 of them have failed
