Maximum Likelihood Estimators
In Reliability Analysis for Complex, Repairable Systems (1974), L. H. Crow noted that the Duane model could be stochastically represented as a Weibull process, allowing for statistical procedures to be used in the application of this model in reliability growth. This statistical extension became what is known as the Crow-AMSAA (NHPP) model. The Crow-AMSAA provides a complete Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) solution to the Duane model. This is described in detail in Chapter 5.
