Description: Doubly censored data, as described in Chang and Yang
        (1987) <doi: 10.1214/aos/1176350608>), are commonly seen in
        many fields. We use EM algorithm to compute the non-parametric
        MLE (NPMLE) of the cummulative probability function/survival
        function and the two censoring distributions. One can also
        specify a constraint F(T)=C, it will return the constrained
        NPMLE and the -2 log empirical likelihood ratio for this
        constraint. This can be used to test the hypothesis about the
        constraint and, by inverting the test, find confidence
        intervals for probability or quantile via empirical likelihood
        ratio theorem. Influence functions of hat F may also be
        calculated, but currently, the it may be slow.
