resistor: Carbon-Film Resistor Accelerated Degradation Test
In Auburngrads/SMRD: Statistical Methods For Reliability Data

Description Format Source See Also

Samples of carbon-film resistors were tested at each of three levels of temperature. At the standard operating temperature of 50^o C, carbon-film resistors will slowly degrade. Changes in resistance can cause reduced product performance or even cause system failures. The test was run at high levels of temperature to accelerate the chemical degradation process and obtain degradation data more quickly.

This dataset presents the percent change in resistance measured throughout the test, while the resistor2 dataset presents the absolute value of resistance measure during the test.

A data.frame with 116 rows and 4 variables:

[, 1]	percent	Observed increase in resistance	Numeric
[, 2]	resistor	Resistor type	Categoric
[, 3]	celsius	Temperature applied to `resistor`	Numeric
[, 4]	hours	Accumulated hours (in thousands) when `percent` was measured	Numeric
