Intervalcensored data needs unique analysis techniques from "summary" of Statistics for Censored Environmental Data Using Minitab and R by Dennis R. Helsel
Interval-censored data presents a unique challenge in statistical analysis due to the nature of the data being partially observed within intervals rather than exact values. This type of data requires specialized techniques to appropriately handle the uncertainty inherent in the observations. Traditional statistical methods that assume complete data or simple censoring mechanisms may not be suitable for interval-censored data. The use of interval-censored data necessitates the development and application of specific analysis techniques that can account for the uncertainty associated with the observed intervals. These techniques involve modeling the distribution of the data within the intervals and estimating parameters that best fit the observed data. Additionally, specialized statistical methods such as interval regression models and survival analysis techniques are commonly employed to analyze interval-censored data effectively. One of the key challenges in analyzing...
