Arguments

• xleft: left bounds for the censored dataset. Can be a real number or NA
• xright: right bounds for the censored dataset

For internal use

Examples

## The function is currently defined as
function(xleft, xright) {
  if (any(xright < xleft, na.rm = T)) {
    stop("in censored data, left bound not always smaller than right bound")
  }
  if (any(mapply(FUN = function(xileft, xiright) {
    is.na(xileft) & is.na(xiright)
  }, xleft, xright))) {
    stop("in censored data, there is an NA NA")
  }
}
