The CASS pilot dataset with sex as auxiliary covariate

Description

This is a pilot dataset from the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS) and is discussed in Reilly (1996). It consists of a random sample of 25 subjects from each stratum defined by different levels of mortality and sex. The "first-stage" data from which this pilot sample was chosen had 8096 observations. There are three variables in the pilot dataset (see Data Description).

Format

The dataset has 100 observations with 3 variables arranged in the following columns:

Column 1 (Mortality)
The operative mortality of the patients
(0 = Alive, 1 = Dead)

Column 2 (age)

Column 3 (sex)
(0 = Male, 1 = Female)
