marijuana: Angina Pectoris Survival Data

Description

Contains the answers of 191 California high school students to the question: "When did you first use marijuana?". An answer can be an exact age, or "I have never used it", which gives rise to a right-censored observation, or "I have used it but cannot recall just when the first time was", which gives rise to a left-censored observation.

Format

A data frame with 21 observations and 3 variables:

L: left-end point of an interval-censored time;

R: right-end point of an interval-censored time;

count: number of students in the interval.
