shockabsorber: Vehicle Shock Absorber Failures

Description Format Source See Also

Description

O'Connor gives the failure times (in number of kilometers of use) of vehicle shock absorbers. The data shows two different failure modes occurring, denoted by M1 and M2. Engineers responsible for shock absorber manufacturing and reliability were interested in the distribution of kilometers to failure for the individual failure modes. Engineers responsible for higher-level automobile system reliability and choosing among alternative vendors were interested in the overall failure distribution for the shock absorbers.

Format

A data.frame with 38 rows and 3 variables:

[, 1] kilometers Accumulated distance at event Numeric
[, 2] mode Failure mode observed at miles Categoric
[, 3] event Event observed at miles (failure/right-censored) Categoric
