State and explain three major types of right censoring.
Fixed type I censoring occurs when a study is designed to end after a fixed
time of follow-up. In this case, everyone who does not have an event observed during the course of the study is censored.
Random type I censoring. Here the study is designed to end after a fixed
time, but censored subjects do not all have the same censoring time. This is
the main type of right-censoring.
Type II censoring, a study ends when there is a pre-specified number of
events.
fixed type I censoring,random type I censoring and In type II censoring.
