Dear Nick,

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately, after intensive search in the web I haven´t been able
to find any document on the use of residuals in interval regression or
the checking of assumptions of interval regression in the survey
setting. Of the two references that Stata manual v11 gives for an
introduction to interval regression  (Wooldridge, J. M. 2009.
Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach. 4th ed. Cincinnati, OH:
South-Western. Davidson, R., and J. G. MacKinnon. 2004. Econometric
Theory and Methods. New York: Oxford University Press.), I've only had
access to Wooldridge's and it does not say anything on how to use
residuals in this context.

I suppose the difficult part in calculating (observed-predicted
values) is assigning values from which censoring takes place as
observed values for individuals with censored data.
