#' Survival analysis of lung cancer patients
#' 
#' @description
#' 
#' Retrospective data was collected across multiple sites for 442 patients with
#' adenocarcinoma of the lung including their survival times, some additional
#' clinical and demographic data, and expression levels of 22,283 genes taken from
#' the tumor sample.
#' 
#' @format
#' 
#' * `S`: A two-column matrix containing the survival data. First column is time on
#'   study (in months), second column is the failure indication (1=died). One would
#'   presume that time is measured as months since surgery, however this is never
#'   explicitly stated in the article.
#' 
#' * `X`: A matrix with 442 rows and 22283 columns of gene expression
#'   measurements
#' 
#' * `Z`: Clinical covariates, which include `Sex`, `Age`, `Race`, `AdjChemo`
#'   (whether the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy), `SmHist` (smoking
#'   history), `Margin`, and `Grade`
#' 
#' ### Annotation
#' 
#' * The object `fData` contains the associated gene names and gene symbols for the
#'   (mapped) probes in `X`. Rows of `fData` correspond to columns of `X`, and are
#'   named accordingly.
