R help - Jul 2008 - Relative Mortality Risk second part

Hi everyone,

We are looking for some data sets working with relative risk mortality.

so, someone know where can I find the data.mgus dataset and the data.mgus?
Using 1384 records from Minnesota.

This data set are used in the :

Robert A. Kyle, Terry M. Therneau, S. Vincent Rajkumar, Janice R. Offord,
Dirk R. Larson, Matthew F. Plevak, and L. Joseph Melton III. A long-term
study of prognosis in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.
New England J Medicine, 346:564?569, 2002.

Thank!

The sample datasets used in Terry's book, that are not in the survival 
package, are available here:

The sample MGUS dataset is the 14th down the list.

 First, the only person who can give you permission to use this data is the 
principle investigator, Dr. Kyle.  To my knowlege, they have never been released
publicly.  Second, release of the data without strict controls would violate 
both US and Minnesota privacy laws.
