In bifurcatingr: Bifurcating Autoregressive Models

#' Lifetimes (in minutes) of lineage E. coli cells.
#'
#' A real cell lineage dataset taken from Cowan and Staudte (1986).
#' The values represent the lifetimes in minutes of lineage E. coli cells.
#' It contains 31 observations making which can be described by a bifurcating
#' autoregressive tree with 4 generations.
