This example compares the results for test-fix-test data (time terminated).


Reference Case

Crow, L.H., Confidence Interval Procedures for the Weibull Process with Applications to Reliability Growth, U.S. Army Material Systems Analysis Activity, 1981.

Termination Time = 500 hours


Result

The book has the following results:

  • Beta = 0.413, Lambda = 1.769
  • DMTBF = 52.7
  • Confidence Bounds on DMTBF (CL = 80%) = (35.6, 82.9)


Results in RGA

In RGA, the following equations are used to calculate [math]\displaystyle{ \beta\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda\,\! }[/math].

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \hat{\beta }=&\frac{N}{{N\ln T^{*}}-\sum_{i=1}^{N}T_{i}}\\ \\ =&\frac{23}{{23\cdot \ln \left ( 500 \right )}-87.2106}\\ \\ =&0.4127 \end{align}\,\! }[/math]


[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \hat{\lambda }=&\frac{N}{T^{*\beta }}\\ \\ =&\frac{23}{500^{0.4127}}\\ \\ =&1.7691 \end{align}\,\! }[/math]
