Life Data Analysis

The lognormal distribution is commonly used to model the lives of units whose failure modes are of a fatigue-stress nature. It has an increasing failure rate behavior and then decreasing towards the end of life.

The lognormal distribution is a two-parameter distribution with parameters
[math]\displaystyle{ {\mu }' }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ {{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}} }[/math].
The pdf is given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ f({T}')=\frac{1}{{{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}}\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( \tfrac{{{T}^{\prime }}-{\mu }'}{{{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}}} \right)}^{2}}}} }[/math]


where,
[math]\displaystyle{ {T}'=\ln (T) }[/math] and
[math]\displaystyle{ \mu' \text{ and } \lt math\gt \sigma_{T'} }[/math]\ are the mean and standard deviation of of the natural logarithms of the times-to-failure.
