Result
The book has the following results:
- Beta(UnB) = 0.5594, Lambda = 1.1067
- CL = 0.9 (two-sided confidence bounds on DMTBF)
- CVM = 0.041, critical value = 0.173. Since CVM < critical value can fail to reject hypothesis that the model fits the data.
Results in RGA
In RGA, the Crow-AMSAA (NHPP) model with the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method was used to calculate the results.
- The model parameters are:
- The Cramér-von Mises goodness-of-fit test result:
- The instantaneous MTBF and its two-sided 90% confidence intervals are shown next. The confidence bounds in the QCP are calculated using Crow Bounds methodology.
