TBCplapyr: Data in patients with bladder cancer treated with placebo or pyridoxine

Description

This database corresponds to the time of recurrence of tumors in 78 patients with bladder cancer. Patients were randomly assigned to treatments: placebo (47 patients) and pyridoxine (31 patients). Data type data.frame with 222 observations on 8 variables.

Usage

Details

Experiment Byar(1980). The database Byar experiment is used and the time (months) of recurrence of tumors in 116 sick patients with superficial bladder cancer is measured. These patients were randomly allocated to the following treatments: placebo (47 patients), pyridoxine (31 patients) and thiotepa (38 patients).
