survdt: Improved Methods for Survival Analysis under Double Truncation

Contains existing and novel methods for nonparametric analysis and Cox regression analysis with doubly truncated survival data, as described in Vazquez and Xie (2025) <doi:10.1007/s10985-025-09650-5>. Includes survival curves and hazard estimates through nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation, various tests for detecting group differences or non-ignorable sampling bias, and inverse probability weighted Cox regression with several options of nonparametric weights. Also implements diagnostics for key modeling assumptions such as quasi-independent truncation and the positivity assumption. Closed-form standard errors are available for all estimates, i.e. bootstrapping is not required.
