     The data are the result of an experiment, that we will refer to as
     the Bt-20 experiment. The goal of the experiment was to determine
     whether hormone-independent human breast cancer cells growing in
     nude mice manifest sensitivity to the polyamine-biosynthetic
     inhibitor DFMO. Mice bearing established tumors to one of six
     groups: 0 (control), 0.5 at day 0, 3, 7, 10, 14 and 16.

     A matrix, the first column contains the group ids (which dose),
     the second column contains the animal ids. Columns 3 to 8 contains

     respectively.
