A comprehensive dataset of 500 brain cancer patients, including survival times, censoring status, and multiple clinical covariates. This dataset was used to demonstrate Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) regression and Cure-Rate models using the Beta-Danish distribution.

Usage

brain_cancer

Age

Age group (1 = Young, 2 = Middle, 3 = Old)

Area

Geographic area (1 = Urban, 0 = Rural)

FH

Family history of cancer (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

CMH

Comorbid history (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

Grade

Tumor grade (1 = I/II, 2 = III, 3 = IV)

Surgery

Surgical intervention (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy treatment (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy treatment (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

Treatment

Treatment type

Morphology

Tumor morphology

Survstatus

Survival status (1 = Event/Death, 0 = Censored)

Survtime

Survival time in months

Types

Tumor types classification

Morphology1
