_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A matrix with 2000 lines (observations) and 8 columns. Column 1 is
     intended to be the survival time, column 2 the censoring
     indicator, and columns 3 through 8 are predictors (covariates).

     I started out with a real data set; then I sampled, transformed
     and added noise. Virtually no number is unchanged.
