Nelson and Doganaksoy report the age when a valve seat replacement occurred across a fleet of 41 diesel engines. For each engine, the number of days when a replacement event occured were recorded along with the number of days when the observational period ended. The data were recorded to answer the following questions:
1Does the replacement rate increased with age? 2How many replacement valves will be needed in some future period of time? 3Can valve life in these systems be modeled as a superimposed renewal process?
A data.frame
with 89 rows and 3 variables:
[, 1] | engine | Designator code specifying each engine under test | Categoric |
[, 2] | days | Accumulated time at event | Numeric |
[, 3] | event | Event observed at days (replacement/end) | Categoric |
