As a more simplistic (yet sometimes realistic on average) alternative, one could impute the outcome time as the midpoint between the interval margins, $t_i = (l_i + r_i)/2$ [@Gadda2016]. + As left-censoring is a specialised case of interval-censoring (with $l_i = 0$) the above formulae can be used to handle left-censored data as well. As a simpl
