relief {bccp}

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).
