Repairable Systems Analysis Reference Example

This example compares the results for a repairable systems analysis.

Crow, L.H., Reliability Analysis for Complex Repairable Systems, Reliability and Biometry: Statistical Analysis of Lifelength, pg. 385, 1974.

Beta = 0.615, Lambda = 0.461

Since $$\,\!S_{1}=S_{2}=S_{3}=0$$ and $$\,\!T_{1}=T_{2}=T_{3}=200$$ then the maximum likelihood estimates of $$\,\!\hat{\beta}$$ and $$\,\!\hat{\lambda }$$ are given by:


 * $$\begin{align}

\hat{\beta }=&\frac{\sum_{q=1}^{K}N_{q}}{\sum_{q=1}^{K}\sum_{i=1}^{N_{q}}ln \left(\frac{T}{X_{iq}}\right)}\\ \\ =&0.6153 \end{align}\,\!$$


 * $$\begin{align}

\hat{\lambda }=&\frac{KT^{\hat{\beta }}}\\ \\ =&0.4605 \end{align}\,\!$$
