Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia survival data.

Description

Survival in a randomised trial comparing three treatments for Chronic Myelogeneous Leukemia (simulated data).

Usage

data("cml")

Format

A data frame with 507 observations on the following 7 variables.

center: a factor with 54 levels indicating the study center.
treatment: a factor with levels trt1, trt2, trt3 indicating the treatment group.
sex: sex (0 = female, 1 = male)
age: age in years
riskgroup: risk group (0 = low, 1 = medium, 2 = high)
status: censoring status (FALSE = censored, TRUE = dead)
time: survival or censoring time in days.

Details

The data are simulated according to structure of the data by the German CML Study Group used in \bibcitethehlmann1994.

    ### covariates and center-specific random effect.
