Degradation Data Analysis with a Power Regression Model
|
This example validates the results for a degradation analysis with a power regression model in Weibull++ degradation folios.
Reference Case
The data set is from Example 8.1 on page 336 in the book Life Cycle Reliability Engineering by Dr. Guangbin Yang, John Wiley & Sons, 2007.
Data
The following table shows the percent transconductance degradation data taken at different times for five units of a MOS field-effect transistor. The failure criterion is defined as a degradation greater than or equal to 15%.

Result
In the book, the following equation is used: [math]\displaystyle{ ln(y) = \beta_{1} + \beta_{2} ln(t)\,\! }[/math]. It in fact is a power equation [math]\displaystyle{ y = bt^{a}\,\! }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ ln(b) = \beta_{1}\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ a = \beta_{2}\,\! }[/math]. This degradation equation is used for each test unit to predict the pseudo failure time, and then a lognormal distribution is used to model the pseudo failure times. The results are:
- The parameters of the power regression model for each unit are:
- For unit 1: [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{1}\,\! }[/math] = -2.413 , [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{2}\,\! }[/math] = 0.524
- For unit 2: [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{1}\,\! }[/math] = -2.735 , [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{2}\,\! }[/math] = 0.525
- For unit 3: [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{1}\,\! }[/math] = -2.056 , [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{2}\,\! }[/math] = 0.424
- For unit 4: [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{1}\,\! }[/math] = -2.796 , [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{2}\,\! }[/math] = 0.465
- For unit 5: [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{1}\,\! }[/math] = -2.217 , [math]\displaystyle{ \beta_{2}\,\! }[/math] = 0.383
- The predicted pseudo failure times are: 17,553; 31,816; 75,809; 138,229.
- The parameters of the fitted lognormal distribution are: Ln-Mean = 11.214, Ln-Std = 1.085.
Results in Weibull++
- The following picture shows the parameters of the power regression model for each unit.
- The predicted pseudo failure times are shown next.
- The next picture shows the parameters of the fitted lognormal distribution.
