This example appears in the Reliability growth reference.


A one-shot system underwent reliability growth development testing for a total of 68 trials. Delayed corrective actions were incorporated after the 14th, 33rd and 48th trials. From trial 49 to trial 68, the configuration was not changed.

  • Configuration 1 experienced 5 failures,
  • Configuration 2 experienced 3 failures,
  • Configuration 3 experienced 4 failures and
  • Configuration 4 experienced 4 failures.

Do the following:

  1. Estimate the parameters of the Crow-AMSAA model using maximum likelihood estimation.
  2. Estimate the unreliability and reliability by configuration.

Solution

  1. The parameter estimates for the Crow-AMSAA model using the parameter estimation for discrete data methodology yields [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda = 0.5954\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \beta =0.7801\,\! }[/math].
  2. The following table displays the results for probability of failure and reliability, and these results are displayed in the next two plots.
    Estimated Failure Probability and Reliability by Configuration
    Configuration([math]\displaystyle{ i\,\! }[/math]) Estimated Failure Probability Estimated Reliability
    1 0.333 0.667
    2 0.234 0.766
    3 0.206 0.794
    4 0.190 0.810
