NeuDist (version 1.0.1)

waiting: Waiting Times of 100 Bank Customers

Description

This dataset contains the waiting times (in minutes) of 100 bank customers, as originally analyzed in Ghitany, Atieh, and Nadarajah (2008) in their study on the Lindley distribution.

Usage

waiting

Value

An object of class "numeric".

The vector consists of 100 observed waiting times (in minutes), each corresponding to a single bank customer. Each value represents the amount of time a customer waited before receiving service. The dataset is commonly used in reliability analysis and applied probability to illustrate lifetime and waiting-time distributions, particularly the Lindley distribution.

Format

A numeric vector of length 100 containing waiting times in minutes.

Details

These data were used to illustrate applications of the Lindley distribution in modeling waiting times. The dataset has been cited widely in reliability and lifetime distribution literature.
