##' Breast Cancer Data
##'
##' The breast cancer data from Finkelstein (1985) has been analyzed
##' extensively for illustrating new methods in modeling interval censored
##' data. The objective of the study was to compare the time to cosmetic
##' deterioration between two groups: 46 patients receiving radiotherapy only
##' and 48 patients receiving radiotherapy plus chemotherapy. Because the
##' detection of deterioration required a clinic visit, the 56 women who
##' experience deterioration were interval censored, and the other38 women who
##' did not were right censored.

##' Tooth Data
##'
##' The tooth data was from a longitudinal prospective dental study performed
##' in Flanders (Belgium) in 1996 -- 2001. Every one of 4,386 randomly sampled
##' children in the cohort was examined annually by one of 16 trained dentists,
##' resulting at most 6 dental observations for each child. The outcome of
##' interest was the time to emergence of permanent tooth 24, which was either
##' interval censored (2,775, 63\%) or right censored (1,611, 37\%).
