Categories:

Description:

The data come from a study of performance degradation data from accelerated tests. The response variable is dialectric breakdown strength in kilo-volts, and the predictors are testing duration time and temperature . The study can be viewed as an 8 by 4 factorial experiment.

There are 128 observations on three variables

Variables:

Strength	Dialectric breakdown strength (in kilovolts)
Time	Duration of testing in weeks; one of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 48 or 64 (that is, there are 8 levels)
Temperature	Temperature in degrees Celsius; one of 180, 225, 250 or 275

Data Quality:

There are no missing values.
