#' @description These data contain a subset of the columns found in
#'   the `pbc` data in the `survival` package. Also, the description
#'   below is taken from the description provided by the `survival`
#'   package.
#'
#    This data is from the Mayo Clinic trial in primary biliary
#'   cirrhosis (PBC) of the liver conducted between 1974 and 1984. A total
#'   of 424 PBC patients, referred to Mayo Clinic during that ten-year
#'   interval, met eligibility criteria for the randomized placebo controlled
#'   trial of the drug D-penicillamine. The first 312 cases in the data set
#'   participated in the randomized trial and contain largely complete data.
#'   The additional 112 cases did not participate in the clinical trial,
#'   but consented to have basic measurements recorded and to be followed
#'   for survival. Six of those cases were lost to follow-up shortly after
#'   diagnosis, so the data here are on an additional 106 cases as well as
#'   the 312 randomized participants.
