aircond {rpanel}R Documentation

Intervals between the failure of air-conditioning equipment in aircraft

Description

These data, reported by Proschan (1963, Technometrics 5, 375-383), refer to the intervals, in service-hours, between failures of the air-conditioning equipment in a Boeing 720 aircraft. (Proschan reports data on 10 different aircraft. The data from only one of the aircraft is used here. Cox and Snell (1981, Applied Statistics: principles and examples, Chapman and Hall, London) discuss the analysis of the data on all 10 aircraft.)

The dataset consists of a single vector of data.

The data are used in the rp.likelihood example script.
