Hi Terry, Thank you for your reply and your time. I really appreciate your time and I know that you should be very busy. Please forgive me for any possible technical mistake as I am not a professional in statistic. R has a package with the name of fitdist that gave me the estimation. It seems th

For an interval censored poisson or lognormal, use survreg() in the survival package. (Or if you are a SAS fan use proc lifereg). If you have a data set where R and SAS give different answers I'd like to know about it, but my general experience is that this is more often a user error. I am al

Dear all, I appreciate that if you let me know if there is any package implemented in R for Estimating Mean of a Poisson Distribution Based on Interval censoring? And if yes, could you please provide some information about it:)  By the way, is there anything for lognormal?I think fitdistcens is n
