Description

As previously discussed in #1, a survival analysis module would be useful. It could include convenience functions for censoring and truncation, as well as functionality like this: https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/flexsurv/versions/1.0.0/topics/Survspline

Research direction
Implement the survival analysis module as described in the referenced issue #1 and the flexsurv documentation. Focus on creating convenience functions for censoring and truncation, and a function similar to Survspline. Familiarize with the greta package structure and how to add new distributions or functions.
