and contains the follow-up laboratory data for each study patient.
An analysis based on the data can be found in Murtagh et al. (1994).
The primary PBC data set contains only baseline measurements
of the laboratory
paramters. This data set contains multiple laboratory results, but
only on the 312 randomized patients. Some baseline data values in this file
differ from the original PBC file, for instance, the data errors in
prothrombin time and age which were discovered after the orignal analysis
