NTP bioassay data: effect of methyleugenol on skin fibroma

Description

NTP bioassay of methyleugenol: 200 male rats were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups with balanced sample size 50. Individuals in treatment group 0, 1, 2, and 3 received doses of 0, 37, 75, and 150 mg methyleugenol per kg body weight, respectively. The response variable tumour is the presence of skin fibroma at time of death. The variable death gives individual time of death, with a final sacrifice of surviving animals at 730 days after begin of the assay.

Usage

death

a numeric vector, specifying the time of death
