# Per-Protocol: Censoring Analysis

Here, we’ll go over some examples of using per-protocol, censoring. First we need to load the library before getting in to some sample use cases.

    library(SEQTaRget)

## Per-protocol, censoring, weights in pre-expanded data and no truncation, no excused conditions (i.e. static interventions)
