Contract data is commonly stored in the Nevada format: shipment or production dates and failure counts within specified periods are shaped like the state of Nevada. Figure 8.8 shows the Small Production.jmp sample data table.
Figure 8.8 Example of the Nevada Format
Figure 8.9 Example of the Dates Format
The Time to Event format shows production and failure data. Unlike the Nevada and Dates formats, Time to Event data does not include date-time information, such as production or failure dates. This format can also accommodate arbitrary censoring schemes in the data. See Defining Risk Sets with Time to Event Data.
Figure 8.10 shows the Small Production Time to Event.jmp sample data table.
