nuclearplants {optmatch} | R Documentation |
The nuclearplants
data frame has 32 rows and 11 columns.
The data relate to the construction of 32 light water reactor (LWR) plants constructed in the U.S.A in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The data was collected with the aim of predicting the cost of construction of further LWR plants. 6 of the power plants had partial turnkey guarantees and it is possible that, for these plants, some manufacturers' subsidies may be hidden in the quoted capital costs.

The data were obtained from the boot
package, for which they were
in turn taken from Cox and Snell (1981). Although the data themselves
are the same as those in the nuclear
data frame in the boot
package,
the row names of the data frame have been changed. (The new row names
were selected to ease certain demonstrations in optmatch
.)
