Malignant Melanoma Survival After Surgery
Description
Survival times for 205 patients with malignant melanoma after surgery.
This rich clinical dataset includes multiple covariates and heavy censoring.
Usage
melanoma
Format
A data frame with 205 rows and 6 columns:
- time
Survival time in days
- status
Event indicator (1 = died from melanoma, 0 = alive, 2 = other death)
- thickness
Tumor thickness in mm
- sex
Patient sex (1 = male, 0 = female)
- age
Patient age in years
- ulcer
Ulceration indicator (1 = present, 0 = absent)
- year
Year of operation

Examples
data(melanoma)
# Treat status 1 as event, others as censored
melanoma$event <- ifelse(melanoma$status == 1, 1, 0)
fit <- fit_betadanish(survival::Surv(time, event) ~ age + thickness, data = melanoma)
