Mice are inoculated by pathogens
to see the relationship  between
their immune responses
and whether they manifest as a severe
complication of illness, named "Y".

However, many of the mice (say, 50%)
died from another irrelevant
form of illness "Z", before they
manifest "Y".
("Y" is relatively rare event, while
"Z" is more common)
So there are two outcomes:

1. died of Z (how irritating to die of an irrelevant illness...) and
2. died of Y

Simplest way to handle this is in a multinomial logistic regression with alive as the base category.
