Simulated case-cohort data set consisting of two continuous markers, two discrete markers, treatment, and event status.
data(tsdata)A data frame with 468 observations reflecting a 1:1 case control subcohort sample from the tsdata dataset. See ?tsdata for the clinical context these data were simulated under.
trta numeric vector distinguishing chemotherapy-treated individuals (trt = 1) vs individuals treated with tamoxifen alone (trt = 0)
eventa numeric vector indicating event status (1 for recurrence or death within 5 years, 0 otherwise)
Y1a numeric vector of values for marker 1. This marker has relatively weak performance.
Y2a numeric vector of values for marker 2. This marker has strong performance.
Y1_disca discrete version of marker 1, coded 1 if Y1 > mean(Y1) and 0 otherwise.
Y2_disca discrete version of marker 2, coded 1 if Y2 > 0, and 0 otherwise.

trtsel for creating trtsel objects, plot.trtsel for plotting risk curves and more, evaluate.trtsel for evaluating marker performance, calibrate.trtsel for assessing model calibration, and compare.trtsel to compare two trtsel object.
