get_censoring_after_match function

Create Censoring date by Pairs

This function creates the censoring date of the pairs by inheriting the minimum date in which any of the partners has a censoring event. Two conditions are checked to inherit a censoring date in a pair.

1. Individual censoring occurs before individual event;
2. If an outcome happens before the censoring of the partner no censoring is inherited by the other.
