     This dataset gives the survival times (in years) for patients from
     a controlled trial into prednisone treatment of liver cirrhosis.
     Also included is the necessary survival design matrix for the
     model as analysed in Henderson, Diggle and Dobson (2002). This
     dataset is to be used in conjunction with 'liverlong'.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A data frame with survival times and design matrix for 75
     subjects. Column format is subject id, survival time, censoring
     indicator and a solitary binary treatment covariate which
     constitutes the survival design matrix.
