#' The data are from a randomized trial comparing two oral treatments for toenail dermatophyte onychomycosis infection, see De Backer et al. (1996). Participants were evaluated at baseline (month 0) and at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.  The response variable is the unaffected nail length expressed in mm.
#'
#' Most recently, Mian and Hasan (2012) and Mahabadi (2014) have analyzed the toenail data.
