    This is confusing. The column name is called `censored` but value `1` means 
`uncensored`. I searched for some survival analysis datasets, where "censor" is 
commonly used as the column name. See 
https://www.umass.edu/statdata/statdata/stat-survival.html. However, in those 
datasets, `1` actually means occurred, i.e., uncensored. So my recommendation 
would be renaming the param name back to `censorCol` and keep the current doc. 
That is `1` for uncensored and `0` for censored. And note that this is to be 
consistent with existing datasets.
