Parameter Estimation
Substituting the generalized Eyring model into the lognormal log-likelihood equation yields:


 * $$\begin{align}

& \ln (L)= & \Lambda =\overset{Fe}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,{{N}_{i}}\ln [\frac{\varphi (z(t))}{\sigma _{T}^{\prime }t}]\overset{S}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{+\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,N_{i}^{\prime }\ln \left( 1-\Phi (z(t_{i}^{\prime })) \right) \\ & & +\overset{FI}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,N_{i}^{\prime \prime }\ln [\Phi (z_{Ri}^{\prime \prime })-\Phi (z_{Li}^{\prime \prime })] \end{align}$$


 * where:


 * $$z_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }=\frac{\ln t_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-A-\tfrac{B}{V_{i}^{\prime \prime }}-C{{U}_{i}}-D\tfrac{V_{i}^{\prime \prime }}+\ln (V_{i}^{\prime \prime })}{\sigma _{T}^{\prime }}$$


 * $$z_{Li}^{\prime \prime }=\frac{\ln t_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-A-\tfrac{B}{V_{i}^{\prime \prime }}-C{{U}_{i}}-D\tfrac{V_{i}^{\prime \prime }}+\ln (V_{i}^{\prime \prime })}{\sigma _{T}^{\prime }}$$


 * and:

•	 $${{F}_{e}}$$ is the number of groups of exact times-to-failure data points. •	 $${{N}_{i}}$$ is the number of times-to-failure data points in the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  time-to-failure data group. •	 $$A,B,C,D$$ are parameters to be estimated. •	 $${{V}_{i}}$$ is the temperature level of the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  group. •	 $${{U}_{i}}$$ is the non-thermal stress level of the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  group. •	 $${{T}_{i}}$$ is the exact failure time of the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  group. •	 $$S$$ is the number of groups of suspension data points. •	 $$N_{i}^{\prime }$$ is the number of suspensions in the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  group of suspension data points. •	 $$T_{i}^{\prime }$$ is the running time of the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  suspension data group. •	 $$FI$$ is the number of interval data groups. •	 $$N_{i}^{\prime \prime }$$ is the number of intervals in the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  group of data intervals. •	 $$T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }$$ is the beginning of the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  interval. •	 $$T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }$$ is the ending of the  $${{i}^{th}}$$  interval. The solution (parameter estimates) will be found by solving for the parameters $$A,$$   $$B,$$   $$C,$$ and  $$D$$  so that  $$\tfrac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial A}=0,$$   $$\tfrac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial B}=0,$$   $$\tfrac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial D}=0$$  and  $$\tfrac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial D}=0$$.
