rats | R Documentation |
Rat treatment data from Mantel et al. Three rats were chosen from each of 100 litters, one of which was treated with a drug, and then all followed for tumor incidence.

data(cancer, package="survival")
litter: | litter number from 1 to 100 |
rx: | treatment,(1=drug, 0=control) |
time: | time to tumor or last follow-up |
status: | event status, 1=tumor and 0=censored |
sex: | male or female |
Since only 2/150 of the male rats have a tumor, most analyses use only females (odd numbered litters), e.g. Lee et al.
