Rat data from Gail et al.

48 rats were injected with a carcinogen, and then randomized to either drug or placebo. The number of tumors ranges from 0 to 13; all rats were censored at 6 months after randomization.

Usage

rats2

Format

rat:	id
trt:	treatment,(1=drug, 0=control)
observation:	within rat
start:	entry time
stop:	exit time
status:	event status, 1=tumor, 0=censored

Note

The usage above assumes that the survival package is attached via library(survival) or via another package that depends on survival, e.g., mstate. If not, then either survival::rats2 can be used or data(cancer, package="survival").
