id numeric ID unique to each individual
platelet platelet count
sex gender (m = male, f = female)
status status at endpoint (0 = censored, 1 = transplant, 2 = dead)
trt binary treatment code (0 = placebo, 1 = D-penicillamine)

wells

A survey of 3200 residents in a small area of Bangladesh suffering from arsenic contamination of groundwater. Respondents with elevated arsenic levels in their wells had been encouraged to switch their water source to a safe public or private well in the nearby area and the survey was conducted several years later to learn which of the affected residents had switched wells.

3020 obs. of 5 variables

switch Indicator for well-switching
arsenic Arsenic level in respondent's well
dist Distance (meters) from the respondent's house to the nearest well with safe drinking water.
assoc Indicator for member(s) of household participate in community organizations
educ Years of education (head of household)
