===  Normal Log-Likelihood Functions and their Partials===&lt;br /&gt;
The complete normal likelihood function (without the constant) is composed of three summation portions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
   \ln (L)= &amp;amp; \Lambda =\underset{i=1}{\overset{{{F}_{e}}}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{N}_{i}}\ln \left[ \frac{1}{\sigma }\phi \left( \frac{{{T}_{i}}-\mu }{\sigma } \right) \right] \\ &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;amp; +\underset{i=1}{\overset{S}{\mathop \sum }}\,N_{i}^{^{\prime }}\ln \left[ 1-\Phi \left( \frac{T_{i}^{^{\prime }}-\mu }{\sigma } \right) \right] \\ &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;amp; \text{ }+\underset{i=1}{\overset{{{F}_{i}}}{\mathop \sum }}\,N_{i}^{^{\prime \prime }}\ln \left[ \Phi \left( \frac{T_{{{R}_{i}}}^{^{\prime \prime }}-\mu }{\sigma } \right)-\Phi \left( \frac{T_{{{L}_{i}}}^{^{\prime \prime }}-\mu }{\sigma } \right) \right]  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:where:&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{F}_{e}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the number of groups of times-to-failure data points&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{N}_{i}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the number of times-to-failure in the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; time-to-failure data group&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the mean parameter (unknown a priori, the first of two parameters to be found)&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sigma &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the standard deviation parameter (unknown a priori, the second of two parameters to be found)&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{T}_{i}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the time of the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; group of time-to-failure data&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the number of groups of suspension data points&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;N_{i}^{\prime }&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the number of suspensions in the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; group of suspension data points&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T_{i}^{\prime }&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the time of the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; suspension data group&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{F}_{i}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the number of interval data groups&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;N_{i}^{\prime \prime }&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the number of intervals in the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; group of data intervals&lt;br /&gt;
::•	&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the beginning of the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; interval&lt;br /&gt;
::•	and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the ending of the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{i}^{th}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; interval&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution will be found by solving for a pair of parameters &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\left( {{\mu }_{0}},{{\sigma }_{0}} \right)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tfrac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial \mu }=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tfrac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial \sigma }=0.&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
   \frac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial \mu }= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{{{\sigma }^{2}}}\underset{i=1}{\overset{{{F}_{e}}}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{N}_{i}}({{T}_{i}}-\mu ) \\ &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;amp; +\frac{1}{\sigma }\underset{i=1}{\overset{S}{\mathop \sum }}\,N_{i}^{\prime }\frac{\phi \left( \tfrac{T_{i}^{\prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)}{1-\Phi \left( \tfrac{T_{i}^{\prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;amp; -\frac{1}{\sigma }\underset{i=1}{\overset{{{F}_{i}}}{\mathop \sum }}\,N_{i}^{\prime \prime }\frac{\phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)-\phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)}{\Phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)-\Phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)}  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
   \frac{\partial \Lambda }{\partial \sigma }= &amp;amp; \underset{i=1}{\overset{{{F}_{e}}}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{N}_{i}}\left( \frac{{{\left( {{T}_{i}}-\mu  \right)}^{2}}}{{{\sigma }^{3}}}-\frac{1}{\sigma } \right) \\ &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;amp; +\frac{1}{\sigma }\underset{i=1}{\overset{S}{\mathop \sum }}\,N_{i}^{\prime }\frac{\left( \tfrac{T_{i}^{\prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)\phi \left( \tfrac{T_{i}^{\prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)}{1-\Phi \left( \tfrac{T_{i}^{\prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;amp; -\frac{1}{\sigma }\underset{i=1}{\overset{{{F}_{i}}}{\mathop \sum }}\,N_{i}^{\prime \prime }\frac{\left( \tfrac{T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)\phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)-\left( \tfrac{T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)\phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)}{\Phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)-\Phi \left( \tfrac{T_{Li}^{\prime \prime }-\mu }{\sigma } \right)}  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi \left( x \right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( x \right)}^{2}}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:and:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Phi (x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}\int_{-\infty }^{x}{{e}^{-\tfrac{{{t}^{2}}}{2}}}dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====  Complete Data====&lt;br /&gt;
Note that for the normal distribution, and in the case of complete data only (as was shown in Chapter 3), there exists a closed-form solution for both of the parameters or:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\mu }=\widehat{{\bar{T}}}=\frac{1}{N}\underset{i=1}{\overset{N}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{T}_{i}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:and:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
   \hat{\sigma }_{T}^{2}= &amp;amp; \frac{1}{N}\underset{i=1}{\overset{N}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{({{T}_{i}}-\bar{T})}^{2}} \\ &lt;br /&gt;
  {{{\hat{\sigma }}}_{T}}= &amp;amp; \sqrt{\frac{1}{N}\underset{i=1}{\overset{N}{\mathop \sum }}\,{{({{T}_{i}}-\bar{T})}^{2}}}  &lt;br /&gt;
