### Details

There are a number of related versions of the Titanic data, in various formats. This version was derived from `ptitanic` in the rpart.plot package, modifying it to remove the `Class 'labelled'` attributes for some variables (inherited from Frank Harrell's `titanic3` version) which caused problems with some applications, notably `ggplot2`.

Other versions:

`Titanic` is the 4-way frequency table of all 2201 people aboard the Titanic, including passengers and crew.

### Source

The original R source for this dataset was compiled by Frank Harrell and Robert Dawson: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/pub/Main/DataSets/titanic.html, described in more detail in http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/pub/Main/DataSets/titanic3info.txt

For this version of the Titanic data, passenger details were deleted, survived was cast as a factor, and the name changed to `Titanicp` to minimize confusion with other versions.

### Examples

    data(Titanicp)
    ## maybe str(Titanicp) ; plot(Titanicp) ...
