In HoRM: Supplemental Functions and Datasets for "Handbook of Regression Methods"

Gamma-Ray Burst Dataset

Description

This dataset consists of measurements on gamma-ray bursts, which are short, intense flashes of gamma-ray radiation that occur at (seemingly) random times and locations in space.

Usage

data(GRB)

Format

This data frame consists of 63 measurements of the following 2 variables:

• TIME Time of measurement (in seconds).

• FLUX X-ray flux measurement (in units of 10^(-11) erg/cm2/s, 2-10 keV).
