     These are simulated data which consists of 120 observations. 15
     individuals were started in each of States 1 and 2 for each of
     four groups with regression parameters $(z_1,z_2)=$ (0,0), (0,1),
     (1,0) and (1,1). Individuals were followed for 5 transitions at
     equidistant time intervals.

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

     The data are in the form of a list. Each element of the list
     consists of four components.

        *  time 

        *  stage

        *  cov  

        *  len

     This would be a very good candidate for the `lgtdl' class of
     objects.
