mcycle: Data from a Simulated Motorcycle Accident

Description

A detailed description of these data is available in Schmidt et al. (1981) and in Silverman (1985). The dataset is available in the MASS package. This dataset is also used in Adam and Gijbels (2021a). A data frame giving a series of measurements of head acceleration in a simulated motorcycle accident, used to test crash helmets.

Usage

mcycle

Format

A data frame with 142 rows and 2 variables:

times

in milliseconds after impact.

accel

in g.
