Description:

The data give the failure times (in CPU seconds) of a real-time command and control software system.

There are 136 observations on one variable.

Variables:

Times

the times at which failure was recorded (in CPU seconds in terms of execution times)

Data Quality:

There are no missing values.

Source:

Hand et al., dataset 14

Notes:

The time differences appear to be well modelled by an exponential distribution (but some zeros need to be dealt with first).
