Internals: Left truncation
A short note on how mrds
deals with left truncation.
process.data
actually performs the truncation on the data.- during fitting:
- evaluations of the detection function are calculated as “normal”, i.e. $g(x,z;\theta)$
- integration is carried out over the left to right truncation interval, i.e. $\int_\text{left}^\text{right} g(x,z;\theta) dx$
