        Fit the model to an interval censored dataset.

        Parameters
        ----------
        lower_bound: an array, or pd.Series
          length n, the start of the period the subject experienced the event in.
        upper_bound: an array, or pd.Series
          length n, the end of the period the subject experienced the event in. If the value is equal to the corresponding value in lower_bound, then
          the individual's event was observed (not censored).
        event_observed: numpy array or pd.Series, optional
          length n, if left optional, infer from ``lower_bound`` and ``upper_cound`` (if lower_bound==upper_bound then event observed, if lower_bound < upper_bound, then event censored)
        timeline: list, optional
            return the estimate at the values in timeline (positively increasing)
        label: string, optional
            a string to name the column of the estimate.
        alpha: float, optional
            the alpha value in the confidence intervals. Overrides the initializing
           alpha for this call to fit only.
        ci_labels: list, optional
            add custom column names to the generated confidence intervals as a length-2 list: [<lower-bound name>, <upper-bound name>]. Default: <label>_lower_<alpha>
        show_progress: boolean, optional
            since this is an iterative fitting algorithm, switching this to True will display some iteration details.
        entry: an array, or pd.Series, of length n
            relative time when a subject entered the study. This is useful for left-truncated (not left-censored) observations. If None, all members of the population
            entered study when they were "born": time zero.
        weights: an array, or pd.Series, of length n
            integer weights per observation
