bearings: It is from Lieblein and Zelen (1956).
These data are deep-groove ball bearings failure times (number of millions of revolutions) in eudurance tests.
glassfiber1.5 and glassfiber15: They are from Smith and Naylor (1987).
These datasets are from experimental data for the strength of glass fiber of length 1.5cm and 15cm, respectively.
urinary: It is from Santiago and Smith (2013).
It is about the days in between discharge of males in nosocomial urinary tract infections in patients.
radiotherapy and radio.chemotherapy: They are from Finkelstein, D. M. (1986)
and Lindsey, J. C. and L. M. Ryan (1998).
These data are interval-censored observations from a study of patients with breast cancer.
The measurement is the time to cosmetic deterioration of the breast for women who received radiotherapy
and women who received radio-chemotherapy.
