&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;===Bounds on Instantaneous MTBF===&lt;br /&gt;
====Fisher Matrix Bounds====&lt;br /&gt;
The instantaneous MTBF,  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{m}_{i}}(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; , must be positive, thus  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ln {{m}_{i}}(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  is approximately treated as being normally distributed as well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\ln {{{\hat{m}}}_{i}}(t)-\ln {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\sqrt{Var(\ln {{{\hat{m}}}_{i}}(t)})}\ \tilde{\ }\ N(0,1)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate confidence bounds on the instantaneous MTBF are then estimated from: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;CB={{\hat{m}}_{i}}(t){{e}^{\pm {{z}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var({{{\hat{m}}}_{i}}(t))}/{{{\hat{m}}}_{i}}(t)}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:where: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{\hat{m}}_{i}}(t)=\frac{1}{\lambda \beta {{t}^{\beta -1}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; Var({{{\hat{m}}}_{i}}(t))= &amp;amp; {{\left( \frac{\partial {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\partial \beta } \right)}^{2}}Var(\hat{\beta })+{{\left( \frac{\partial {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\partial \lambda } \right)}^{2}}Var(\hat{\lambda }) \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp;  &amp;amp; +2\left( \frac{\partial {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\partial \beta } \right)\left( \frac{\partial {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\partial \lambda } \right)cov(\hat{\beta },\,\,\,\hat{\lambda })  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The variance calculation is the same as Eqn. (variances) and:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{align}&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp; \frac{\partial {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\partial \beta }= &amp;amp; -\frac{1}{\hat{\lambda }{{{\hat{\beta }}}^{2}}}{{t}^{1-\hat{\beta }}}-\frac{1}{\hat{\lambda }\hat{\beta }}{{t}^{1-\hat{\beta }}}\ln t \\ &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp; \frac{\partial {{m}_{i}}(t)}{\partial \lambda }= &amp;amp; -\frac{1}{{{{\hat{\lambda }}}^{2}}\hat{\beta }}{{t}^{1-\hat{\beta }}}  &lt;br /&gt;
\end{align}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Crow Bounds====&lt;br /&gt;
:Step 1: Calculate  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(i)=\tfrac{{{T}_{i}}}{{{T}_{K}}},\,\,i=1,2,\ldots ,K&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
:Step 2: Calculate: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;A=\underset{i=1}{\overset{K}{\mathop \sum }}\,\frac{{{\left[ P{{(i)}^{{\hat{\beta }}}}\ln P{{(i)}^{{\hat{\beta }}}}-P{{(i-1)}^{\widehat{\beta }}}\ln P{{(i-1)}^{{\hat{\beta }}}} \right]}^{2}}}{\left[ P{{(i)}^{{\hat{\beta }}}}-P{{(i-1)}^{{\hat{\beta }}}} \right]}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Step 3: Calculate  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D=\sqrt{\tfrac{1}{A}+1}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  and  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W=\tfrac{({{z}_{1-\alpha /2}})\cdot D}{\sqrt{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; . Thus an approximate 2-sided  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(1-\alpha )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 100-percent confidence interval on  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;{{\hat{m}}_{i}}(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;MTB{{F}_{i}}={{\widehat{m}}_{i}}(1\pm W)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
