## Censoring

### What is censored data?

Data is censored when the exact value is uncertain.
There are three primary types of censoring.
Right censoring when only the lower bound is known (>), left censoring when only the upper bound is known (<)
and interval censored when both the lower and upper bound are known (><).
Uncensored data can be thought of as interval censored data in which the upper and lower bound are identical (=).
Likewise, missing data can be considered to be censored data in which both the upper and lower bound are unknown (?).

### How is censored data coded in ssdtools?

Censored data is coded by specifying the lower bound values in one column (>) and the upper bound values in a second column (<).
Unknown lower bounds are coded using NA or 0 while unknown upper bounds are coded using NA or Inf.
The name of the columns with the lower and upper bound values are then passed to the `left` (>) and `right` (<) arguments in the `ssd_fit_dists()` function, respectively.

### What are the current limitations on analysing censored data?

Currently `ssdtools` has the following limitations on the analysis of censored data:

- distribution fitting to left (<) or interval (><) censored data only, i.e., when the upper bound is known;
- model averaging when the distributions have the same number of parameters only; and
- estimation of confidence interval using non-parametric bootstrapping only.
