TandmobEmer: Signal Tandmobiel data - emergence times

Description

This is a part of the Tandmob data containing only emergence times and some baseline covariates. Here, all left-censored emergence times have been changed into interval-censored with the lower limit of the intervals equal to 5 years of age (clinically minimal time before which the permanent teeth hardly emerge). Also censoring indicators are added to be able to use the data directly with the NMixMCMC function.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is possible to use these data for your research work under the condition that each manuscript is first approved by Prof. Emmanuel Lesaffre Biostatistical Centre Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Kapucijnenvoer 35 B-3000 Leuven Belgium <[e-mail]>
