Censoring Options

Use censoring columns: Choose Use censoring columns, then enter the censoring columns in the box. The first censoring column is paired with the first data column, the second censoring column is paired with the second data column, and so on.

Censoring value: If you like, enter the value you use to indicate censoring in Censoring value. If you do not enter a value, Minitab uses the lowest value in the censoring column. Text values must be contained in double quotes.

Time censor at: For time censored data, choose Time censor at, then enter a failure time at which to begin censoring. For example, entering 500 says that any observation from 500 time units onward is considered censored.

Failure censor at: For failure censored data, choose Failure censor at, then enter a number of failures at which to begin censoring. For example, entering 150 says to make all (ordered) observations starting with the 150th observation censored, and all other observations uncensored.
