A data.frame
of 144 lymph node positive breast cancer patients on metastasis-free survival, 5 clinical risk factors, and gene expression measurements of 70 genes found to be prognostic for metastasis-free survival in an earlier study. The included variables are
Metastasis-free follow-up time (months).
Event indicator. 1 = metastasis or death; 0 = censored.
Diameter of the tumor (two levels).
Number of affected lymph nodes (two levels).
Estrogen receptor status (two levels).
Grade of the tumor (three ordered levels).
Patient age at diagnosis (years).
Gene expression measurements of 70 prognostic genes.
