Three methods for linear regression with censored data are considered, that of Buckley & James (1979), a proposed simpler nonparametric method and a normal model for censored data. A new estimator for the variance of the error term in Buckley & James's (1979) procedure is proposed and simulations comparing the three methods are described.
