[exp.start, exp.end)
and events
(event1, event2, ...)
this function returns a vector with 1's corresponding to events that took place in the time window and 0 otherwise TODO:

• add unit tests

• explain the time intervals and how they are used (ie, improve documentation)

Note that if there is any missingness in the exp.start or exp.end variables, then this assumes no exposure.

Usage

  events.in.interval(exp.start, exp.end, events)

Arguments

exp.start	the start of the exposure window
exp.end	the end of the exposure window
events	the time of the events
