Fissures in turbine wheels

Keywords:

turbines, failures

Categories:

science;
generalized linear models

Description:

In an experiment, turbine wheels were run for a number of hours, and the number of fissures developed was counted.

There are 12 observations on three varaibles.

Variables:

Hours	The number of hours the turbine was run
Turbines	The number of turbines run at for the given amount of time
Fissures	The number of the turbine wheels with fissures

Data Quality:

There are no missing values.
