cgd: Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) Infection Data

In h.likelihood: Statistical Modeling and Inference via Hierarchical Likelihood

Description

The CGD data set in Fleming and Harrington (1991) consists of a placebo-controlled randomized trial of gamma interferon in chronic granulomatous disease.
