Many thanks for your package! Would you consider adding left truncation to your package? Left truncation often occurred in survival data. For example, in electronic health records, such as the UK-Biobank dataset, where each observation enters the study at a different age. When splitting rules are logrank type and the estimator at the terminal nodes is based on Nelson-Aalen, for example, it is very easy to accommodate left truncation - by using a modified definition of the risk set. Clearly, these modifications can be included in competing risks as well. Thanks, Malka Gorfine Tel Aviv University, Israel

This is a very excellent and interesting idea. We will think about this and consider it. Thank you for your suggestion.
