tdc_in_study: participants over time

This function counts the number of individuals in the study at each time point of interest (set of all distinct time points starting or ending an interval). For each such point, a patient is in the study at T if they have a time period starting at, or before, T, AND the corresponding end strictly after T.

Arguments

x	data frame with time periods starting at tstart, ending at tstop.
tstart	name of variable acting as tstart
tstop	name of variable acting as tstop
