\item{\code{outcome}}{a factor with 2 levels giving the response}
\item{\code{treatment}}{a factor with 2 levels giving the treatment group}
\item{\code{time}}{a numeric vector giving the time of the visit
(not exactly monthly intervals hence not round numbers)}

\description{
The toenail data come from a Multicenter study comparing two oral
treatments for toenail infection. Patients were evaluated for the
degree of separation of the nail. Patients were randomized into two
treatments and were followed over seven visits - four in the first
year and yearly thereafter. The patients have not been treated
prior to the first visit so this should be regarded as the
baseline.
