A Simulated Data Mimicking a Skin Cancer Chemoprevention Trial

Description

A data frame contains data on the recurrence of skin tumor. This simulated data is created for illustrative purpose and it mimic the Skin Cancer Chemoprevention Trial used in Chiou et al. (2017). This data set contains records of 100 simulated patients.

Usage

data(skiTum)

id

: patient id (repeated for each recurrence).

time
