ShorelineFireEMS: Shoreline Fire and EMS Turnout Times

In kSamples: K-Sample Rank Tests and their Combinations

Shoreline Fire and EMS Turnout Times

Description

This data set gives turnout response times for Fire and EMS (Emergency Medical Services) dispatch calls to the Shoreline, WA, Fire Department in 2006. The turnout time refers to time elapsed between the emergency call dispatch and the crew leaving the fire station, or signaling that they are on their way while being on route already. The latter scenario may explain the bimodal distribution character.

Usage

data(ShorelineFireEMS)

Format

A list of two sublists $EMSTOT and $FireTOT, each with 4 vector components $ST57, $ST63, $ST64, and $ST65 respectively, giving the turnout times (in seconds) (for EMS and Fire) at fire stations ST57, ST63, ST64, and ST65.

Note

These data sets are provided to illustrate usage of ad.test and qn.test and their combined versions in testing for performance equivalence across fire stations.
