_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This data set gives the waiting times (in years) between
     earthquakes with moment maginitude greater than 5.1, in the
     Italian seismogenic zone 923, from year 1650 to year 2002, as
     obtained by La Rocca (2005) based on the catalogue by Gruppo di
     Lavoro CPTI (2004).

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A data frame with 47 observations on the following 2 variables:

     '_t_i' earthquake inter-event times (years)

     '_o_b' censoring indicators (0 = right censored, 1 = exact)

_N_o_t_e:

     All observations are exact, except for the last one (a
     characteristic of this kind of data).
