#' Motion sickness study.
#'
#' The data are from an experiment that investigated sickness from simulated sea motion. Subjects were put into a cabin mounted on a hydraulic piston and subjected to vertical motion for up to two hours. The length of time until each subject vomited was recorded. Note that some observations are right-censored. 
#'
#' @format A data frame with 49 observations and three variables:
#' \describe{
#'    \item{minutes:}{minutes until the subjecte vomited}
#'    \item{censored:}{whether or not the time is censored (yes or no)}
#'    \item{motion:}{simulated sea motion condition (a: frequency of 0.167 Hz and acceleration of 0.111g, b: frequency of 0.333Hz and acceleration of 0.222g)}
#' }

#' @details These data are from Burns (1984) but are also featured in Hand et al. (1994).
