Controlling the censored proportion

[ielbadisy]

Hi Sam,

Thank you very much for this great package.

I wonder if you have any suggestion how I could control the percentage of censoring without changing either the maxt or the values of baseline ?

Many thanks.

Hi @ielbadisy. No, unfortunately the censoring mechanism in simsurv is pretty simplistic. As far as I can remember, it just has non-informative censoring based on a maximum time maxt. If you have a specific hazard function and a desired censoring proportion, then I guess you could write a loop or something to iterate over a range of possible maxt until you hit the maxt that gets you the censoring proportion you desire... 🤔

Hi @sambrilleman, Thanks for responding. I see the proposed solution. I wil try to work on a solution and will give you feedback later. Although I believe that with this option, we lose control over the desired maxt.
