Finkelstein's method has been implemented in an SAS macro ( %Intev_Cens ),
which can be requested from Xing Sun and Cong Chen at Merck Research
Laboratories. One can call the SAS macro %Intev_Cens using the following
syntax:
%Intev_Cens(Dsin=,LeftT=,RightT=,Cnsr=,RgtCnV=,TrtGrp=,Covar=,Mclass=,
OptFunc=,TrtEst=,TrtTest=,OutDrv=,Alf=,SmPtb=,SmLen=,Rdn=);
The following arguments may be listed within parentheses in any order,
and separated by commas:
Dsin=SASdatasettobeanalyzed.
LeftT=Anumericvariablerepresentingtheleftendpointof
