These data are discussed in the first STAT0002 lecture. A paper (Dalal et al., 1989), in which these data are analysed with a view to estimating (retrospectively) the probability of a catastrophic failure of the Challenger space shuttle under the launch conditions on 28th January 1986 is used as a worked example for the STAT0002 Meet your Professor ICA.

A dataframe with 24 rows and 5 columns:
flight
: the flight number.
date
: the date.
damaged
: the number of O-rings with thermal distress.
temperature
: temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit.
pressure
: pressure, pounds per square inch.
The first 23 rows contain data for test flights. The last row contains the data for the ill-fated flight on 28th January 1986, where the number of damaged 0-rings is missing (NA).
