feigl


  The file  contains the
  survival times  in weeks of 33 patients
  suffering from acute myelogeneous leukaemia, and the values of two
  explanatory variables, white blood cell count  in thousands
  and a positive or negative factor , positive values  being defined by
  the presence of Auer rods and/or significant
  granulature of the leukaemic cells in the bone marrow at diagnosis,
  and negative values if both Auer rods and granulature are
  absent.
