Time-to-event data example 4 for non-proportional hazards working group

Source: R/ex4_belly.R
ex4_belly.Rd

Survival objects reverse-engineered datasets from published Kaplan-Meier curves. Individual trials are de-identified since the data are only approximations of the actual data. Data are intended to evaluate methods and designs for trials where non-proportional hazards may be anticipated for outcome data.

Usage

data(ex4_belly)

Format

Data frame with 4 variables:

  • id: Sequential numbering of unique identifiers.

  • month: Time-to-event.

  • event: 1 for event, 0 for censored.

  • trt: 1 for experimental, 0 for control.
