On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the rats data set which pertains to Rat treatment data from Mantel et al. The rats data set is found in the survival R package. You can load the rats data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("rats"). This will load the data into a variable called rats. If R says the rats data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("survival") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command.

Rat treatment data from Mantel et al
Description
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.
Usage
rats
Format
| 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 |
Note
Since only 2/150 of the male rats have a tumor, most analyses use only females (odd numbered litters), e.g. Lee et al.
