Consider the data given in Exercise Table 3.3. Examine the relationship between remission duration and survival time and each of the nine possible prognostic variables: age, gender, family history of melanoma, and the six skin tests. Group the patients according to different cutoff points. Estimate and drawremission and survival curves for each subgroup. Compare the remission and survival distributions of subgroups using the methods discussed in Chapter 5. Prepare tables similar to Table 3.8.
