 BinaryToCensoring(is.censored=c(0, 1, 1, 0, NA))
#> [1] uncensored censored   censored   uncensored <NA>      
#> Levels: censored uncensored
 BinaryToCensoring(is.uncensored=c(1, 0, 0, 1, NA))   #the same
#> [1] uncensored censored   censored   uncensored <NA>      
#> Levels: censored uncensored
 
 if (FALSE) {
 BinaryToCensoring(c(0, 1))   #error because the input must be named
