bccp (version 0.5.0)

relief: Wingo's pain relief data

Description

In order to investigate the effectiveness of an anesthetic antibiotic ointment in relieving pain caused by wounds, a number of 30 patients take part in a test where 10 of them are removed from the test under censoring plan \(R=(5,1,4,0)\) at times \(T_{1}=0.25, T_{2}=0.50, T_{3}=0.75\) and \(T_{4}=3.50\). We note that the termination time is not fixed, but it is assumed that \(T_{4}=3.50\) sufficiently large to ensure that no observation is right censored, see Balakrishnan and Cramer (2014).

Usage
