		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;#039;==Confidence Bounds== &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Least squares confidence bounds can be computed for both the model parameters and metrics of interest for the Duane model. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; ===Parameter Bounds=== …&amp;#039;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;==Confidence Bounds==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Least squares confidence bounds can be computed for both the model parameters and metrics of interest for the Duane model.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Parameter Bounds===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apply least squares analysis on the Duane model: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ln ({{\hat{m}}_{c}})=\ln (b)+\alpha \ln (t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The unbiased estimator of     can be obtained from: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{\sigma }^{2}}=Var\left[ \ln {{m}_{c}}(t) \right]=\frac{SSE}{(n-2)}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:where: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;SSE=\underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{\left[ \ln {{{\hat{m}}}_{c}}({{t}_{i}})-\ln {{m}_{c}}({{t}_{i}}) \right]}^{2}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, the confidence bounds on  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  and  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;b&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;C{{B}_{\alpha }}=\hat{\alpha }\pm {{t}_{n-2,\alpha /2}}SE(\hat{\alpha })&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;C{{B}_{b}}=\hat{b}{{e}^{\pm {{t}_{n-2,\alpha /2}}SE\left[ \ln (\hat{b}) \right]}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{t}_{n-2,\alpha /2}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  denotes the percentage point of the  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  distribution with  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n-2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  degrees of freedom such that  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P\{{{t}_{n-2}}\ge {{t}_{\alpha /2,n-2}}\}=\alpha /2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  and: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;SE(\hat{\alpha })=\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{{{S}_{xx}}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;SE\left[ \ln (\hat{b}) \right]=\sigma \cdot \sqrt{\frac{\underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,{{(\ln {{t}_{i}})}^{2}}}{n\cdot {{S}_{xx}}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{S}_{xx}}=\left[ \underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{(\ln {{t}_{i}})}^{2}} \right]-\frac{1}{n}{{\left( \underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop \sum }}\,\ln ({{t}_{i}}) \right)}^{2}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Bounds===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Confidence bounds also can be obtained on the cumulative MTBF and the cumulative failure intensity: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;C{{B}_{{{m}_{c}}}}={{\hat{m}}_{c}}(t){{e}^{\pm {{z}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var\left[ \ln ({{{\hat{m}}}_{c}}) \right]}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{c}}(t)]}_{L}}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{{{[{{m}_{c}}(t)]}_{u}}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{c}}(t)]}_{U}}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{{{[{{m}_{c}}(t)]}_{l}}}  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  is large, the approximate  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;100(1-\alpha )%&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  confidence bounds for instantaneous MTBF are given by: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{m}_{i}}{{(t)}_{L}}= &amp;amp; \frac{{{[{{m}_{c}}(t)]}_{L}}}{{\hat{\beta }}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{m}_{i}}{{(t)}_{U}}= &amp;amp; \frac{{{[{{m}_{c}}(t)]}_{U}}}{{\hat{\beta }}}  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and therefore, the confidence bounds on the instantaneous failure intensity are: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{i}}(t)]}_{L}}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{{{[{{m}_{i}}(t)]}_{U}}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{c}}(t)]}_{U}}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{{{[{{m}_{i}}(t)]}_{L}}}  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Example 5&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{\lambda }_{i}}(t)=\tfrac{1}{{{m}_{i}}(t)}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For the data given in Table 4.3, calculate the 90% confidence bounds for:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#The parameters &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha\text{and} b&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
#The cumulative and instantaneous failure intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
#The cumulative and instantaneous MTBF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Solution&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:1.  Using the values of  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{b}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  and  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\alpha }&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  estimated from the least squares analysis in Example 3: &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{b}=1.9453&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\alpha}=0.6133&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Eqn. (duanec9) is: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{S}_{xx}}= &amp;amp; 1400.9084-1301.4545 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 99.4539  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eqn. (duanec7) is: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; SE(\hat{\alpha })= &amp;amp; \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{{{S}_{xx}}}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; \frac{0.08428}{9.9727} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 0.008452  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Eqn. (duanec8) is: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; SE(\ln \hat{b})= &amp;amp; \sigma \cdot \sqrt{\frac{\underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,{{(\ln {{T}_{i}})}^{2}}}{n\cdot {{S}_{xx}}}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 0.065960  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, 90% confidence bounds on parameter  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  using Eqn. (duanec1) are: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{\alpha }_{L}}= &amp;amp; 0.602050 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{\alpha }_{U}}= &amp;amp; 0.624417  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And 90% confidence bounds on parameter  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;b&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  using Eqn. (duanec2) are: &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{b}_{L}}= &amp;amp; 1.7831 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{b}_{U}}= &amp;amp; 2.1231  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:2.   The cumulative failure intensity is: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{\lambda }_{c}}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{1.9453}\cdot {{22000}^{-0.6133}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 0.00111689  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And the instantaneous failure intensity is equal to: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{\lambda }_{i}}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{1.9453}\cdot (1-0.6133)\cdot {{22000}^{-0.6133}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 0.00043198  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So, at the 90% confidence level and for  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=22,000&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  hr, the confidence bounds on cumulative failure intensity are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{c}}(t)]}_{L}}= &amp;amp; 0.00100254 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{c}}(t)]}_{U}}= &amp;amp; 0.00124429  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For the instantaneous failure intensity:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{i}}(t)]}_{L}}= &amp;amp; 0.00038775 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{[{{\lambda }_{c}}(t)]}_{U}}= &amp;amp; 0.00048125  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Figures figure75 and figure76 show the graphs of the cumulative and instantaneous failure intensity. Both are plotted with confidence bounds.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:3.   The cumulative MTBF is: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{m}_{c}}(T)= &amp;amp; 1.9453\cdot {{22000}^{0.6133}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 895.3395  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And the instantaneous MTBF is: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{m}_{i}}(T)= &amp;amp; \frac{1.9453}{1-0.6133}\cdot {{22000}^{0.6133}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; = &amp;amp; 2314.9369  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So, at 90% confidence level and for  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=22,000&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  hr, the confidence bounds on the cumulative MTBF are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{m}_{c}}{{(t)}_{l}}= &amp;amp; 803.6695 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{m}_{c}}{{(t)}_{u}}= &amp;amp; 997.4658  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The confidence bounds for the instantaneous MTBF are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; {{m}_{i}}{{(t)}_{l}}= &amp;amp; 2077.9204 \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; {{m}_{i}}{{(t)}_{u}}= &amp;amp; 2578.9886  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Figure CumMTBFCB displays the cumulative MTBF while Figure InstMTBFCB displays the instantaneous MTBF. Both are plotted with confidence bounds.&lt;br /&gt;
