Cumulative distribution for censorings

[pbiecek]

Hi, are you working on this?
If not, I can add a function that creates either CIC like curves or normalized curves similar to these created with cdplot() function (I found this useful to see where censorings are more often).

Hi @pbiecek,

I'm not working on it, so let's go for your suggestion!

[pbiecek]

Candidate solution is in #149

Below I copy the quick overview
The ggsurvevents function calculates and plots distribution for events (both status=0 and status1),
with type parameter one can plot cumulative distribution of locally smooth density,
with normalised distributions are normalised.

This function helps to notice when censorings are more common

a nice example is for colon dataset, here censorings occur mostly after 6'th year

Looks great!
