'''Lognormal Distribution Likelihood Ratio Bound Example (Reliability)'''
#REDIRECT [[The Lognormal Distribution]]
 
For the data given in [[Lognormal Example 5 Data|Example 5]], determine the two-sided 75% confidence bounds on the reliability estimate for  <math>t=65</math> .  The ML estimate for the reliability at  <math>t=65</math>  is 64.261%.
 
 
'''Solution'''
 
In this example, we are trying to determine the two-sided 75% confidence bounds on the reliability estimate of 64.261%. This is accomplished by substituting  <math>t=65</math>  and  <math>\alpha =0.75</math>  into the likelihood function, and varying  <math>{{\sigma'}}</math>  until the maximum and minimum values of  <math>R</math>  are found. The following table gives the values of  <math>R</math>  based on given values of  <math>{{\sigma' }}</math> .
 
 
<center><math>\begin{matrix}
  {{\sigma'}} & {{R}_{1}} & {{R}_{2}} & {{\sigma'}} & {{R}_{1}} & {{R}_{2}}  \\

As can be determined from the table, the lowest calculated value for  <math>R</math>  is 43.444%, while the highest is 81.508%. These represent the two-sided 75% confidence limits on the reliability at  <math>t=65</math> .
