General Log-Linear (GLL)-Weibull Model

This example validates the results for the GLL life-stress relationship with a Weibull distribution in ALTA standard folios.


Reference Case

The data set is from Example 7.14 on page 297 in book Life Cycle Reliability Engineering by Dr. Guangbin Yang, John Wiley & Sons, 2007.

Result

The model used in the book is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \,\!ln\left ( \eta \right )=\alpha _{0}+\alpha _{1}\frac{1}{T} }[/math]


The book has the following results:

  • The model parameters are: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{0}=-3.156 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{1}=4390 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta =2.27 }[/math].


  • The variance of each parameter is: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!Var\left ( \alpha _{0} \right )=3.08 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!Var\left ( \alpha _{1} \right )=484819.5 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!Var\left ( \beta\right )=0.1396 }[/math] .


  • The two-sided 90% confidence intervals for the model parameters are: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\left [ \alpha _{0,L},\alpha _{0,U} \right ]=\left [ -6.044, -0.269 \right ] }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\left [ \alpha _{1,L},\alpha _{1,U} \right ]=\left [ 3244.8, 5535.3 \right ] }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\left [ \beta _{1,L},\beta _{1,U} \right ]=\left [ 1.73, 2.97 \right ] }[/math] .


  • The estimated B10 life at temperature of 35°C is 24,286 hours. The two-sided 90% confidence interval is [10371, 56867].


  • The estimated reliability at 35°C and 10,000 hours is [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!R\left ( 10000 \right )=0.9860 }[/math] . The two-sided 90% confidence interval is [0.892, 0.998].


Results in ALTA

In ALTA, the GLL model with Weibull distribution is used. Since temperature is the stress, the reciprocal transform is used. The results are:
