amenorrhea

Description

A total of 1151 women completed menstrual diaries. The diary data were used to generate a binary sequence for each woman, indicating whether or not she had experienced amenorrhea (the absence of menstrual bleeding for a specified number of days) on the day of randomization and three additional 90-day intervals. The goal of this trial was to compare the two treatments (100 mg or 150 mg of depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA)) in terms of how the rates of amenorrhea change over time with continued use of the contraceptive method.

Usage

data(amenorrhea)

Format

A data frame with 4604 rows and 4 variables:

ID

a numeric vector indicating the woman's ID.

Dose

a factor with two levels: "100mg" for treatment with 100 mg injection; and "150mg" for treatment with 150 mg injection.

Time

a numeric vector indicating the number of 90-day intervals since the trial beagn.

amenorrhea

a numeric vector indicating the amenorrhea status (1 for amenorrhea; 0 otherwise).
