Description

A data frame contains data on the recurrence of skin tumor. This simulated data is created for illustrative purpose and it mimic the Skin Cancer Chemoprevention Trial used in Chiou et al. (2017). This data set contains records of 100 simulated patients.

id

: patient id (repeated for each recurrence).

time
