As discussed in Section 1.3, doubly censored data occur in studies that consist of two related events with one followed by the other. A typical example is given by a disease progression study in which the onset of the disease is caused or preceded by certain virus infection. In these situations, three variables are present, and they are time to infection, time between infection and the onset of the disease, and time to the onset of the disease. It is apparent that one only needs to know two of the three variables. If the variable of interest is the time to infection or the time to the onset of the disease, in general, one only needs to analyze the variable of interest without the need of dealing with the other two variables.
