Titanic data with passenger names and other details removed.
A data frame with 1046 observations on 6 variables.
pclass | passenger class, unordered factor: 1st 2nd 3rd |
survived | factor: died or survived |
sex | unordered factor: male female |
age | age in years, min 0.167 max 80.0 |
sibsp | number of siblings or spouses aboard, integer: 0...8 |
parch | number of parents or children aboard, integer: 0...6 |
The dataset was compiled by Frank Harrell and Robert Dawson:
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/pub/Main/DataSets/titanic.html.

For this version of the Titanic data, passenger details were deleted,
survived was cast as a factor,
and the name changed to ptitanic to minimize confusion with
other versions.
In this data the crew are conspicuous by their absence.

How ptitanic was built:
load("titanic3.sav") # from Dr. Harrell's web site
# discard name, ticket, fare, cabin, embarked, body, home.dest
ptitanic <- titanic3[,c(1,2,4,5,6,7)]
# change survived from integer to factor
ptitanic$survived <- factor(ptitanic$survived, labels=c("died", "survived"))
save(ptitanic, file="ptitanic.rda")
This version of the data differs from
etitanic in the earth package
in that here survived is a factor (not an integer)
and age has some NAs.
