#' Survival times of gastric cancer patients
#'
#' A data set of survival times of patients with locally advanced,
#' nonresectable gastric carcinoma. The patients were either
#' treated with chemotherapy plus radiation or chemotherapy alone.

#' @format A data frame with 90 rows and 4 variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{id}{patient id}
#'   \item{radiation}{dummy variable indicating which treatment was employed,
#'   0 = chemotherapy, 1 = combined chemotherapy/radiation}
#'   \item{time}{time survived by patient in days}
#'   \item{status}{dummy variable indicating whether death of the patient was observed,
#'   0 = death not observed (i.e. censored), 1 = death observed.}
