Data from an experiment to investigate the effectiveness of the two drugs,
desipramine and lithium, in the treatment of cocaine addiction. Subjects
(cocaine addicts seeking treatment) were randomly assigned to take one of
the treatment drugs or a placebo. The response variable is whether or not
the subject relapsed (went back to using cocaine) after the treatment.
