Abstract
This is a discussion about a very well-written paper by Schmee and Hahn which addresses the problem of analyzing censored data. The paper proposes a method called iterated least squares (ILS) and compares ILS to existing methods that are somewhat more cumbersome to carry out. This discussion emphasizes possible use of the paper as a model for such articles, and cites some examples to support the authors' statement that problems involving censored data occur often in practice.
