Consider the data summarized in the following tables. These data illustrate a typical three-stress type accelerated test.

The data in the second table are analyzed assuming a Weibull distribution, an Arrhenius life-stress relationship for temperature and an inverse power life-stress relationship for voltage. No transformation is performed on the operation type. The operation type variable is treated as an indicator variable,  taking the discrete values of 0 and 1, for on/off and continuous operation, respectively. The following figure, shows the stress types and their transformations as in ALTA.

<br>
The GLL relationship then becomes:
 
<br>
::<math>\eta ={{e}^{{{\alpha }_{0}}+{{\alpha }_{1}}\tfrac{1}{{{V}_{1}}}+{{\alpha }_{2}}\ln ({{V}_{2}})+{{\alpha }_{3}}{{V}_{3}}}}</math>
 
<br>
The resulting relationship after performing these transformations is:
 
<br>
::<math>\begin{align}
  & \eta = & {{e}^{{{\alpha }_{0}}}}{{e}^{{{\alpha }_{1}}\tfrac{1}{{{V}_{1}}}}}{{e}^{{{\alpha }_{2}}\ln ({{V}_{2}})}}{{e}^{{{\alpha }_{3}}{{V}_{3}}}} =\ & {{e}^{{{\alpha }_{0}}}}{{e}^{{{\alpha }_{1}}\tfrac{1}{{{V}_{1}}}}}V_{2}^{{{\alpha }_{2}}}{{e}^{{{\alpha }_{3}}{{V}_{3}}}} 
\end{align}</math>
 
<br>
Therefore, the parameter  <math>B</math>  of the Arrhenius relationship is equal to the log-linear coefficient  <math>{{\alpha }_{1}}</math> , and the parameter  <math>n</math>  of the inverse power relationship is equal to ( <math>-{{\alpha }_{2}}</math> ). Therefore  <math>\eta </math>  can also be written as:
 
<br>
::<math>\eta ={{e}^{{{\alpha }_{0}}}}{{e}^{\tfrac{B}{{{V}_{1}}}}}V_{2}^{n}{{e}^{{{\alpha }_{3}}{{V}_{3}}}}</math>
 
<br>
The activation energy of the Arrhenius relationship can be calculated by multiplying B with Boltzmann's constant.
<br>
The best fit values for the parameters in this case are:
 
<br>
::<math>\begin{align}
  \beta = & 3.7483;\text{ }{{\alpha }_{0}}=-6.0220;\text{ }{{\alpha }_{1}}=5776.9341 \\
  {{\alpha }_{2}}= & -1.4340;\text{ }{{\alpha }_{3}}=0.6242. 
\end{align}</math>
 
<br>
Once the parameters are estimated, further analysis on the data can be performed. First, using ALTA, a Weibull probability plot of the data can be obtained, as shown next.
<br>
 
<br>

<br>
<br>
Several types of information about the model as well as the data can be obtained from a probability plot. For example, the choice of an underlying distribution and the assumption of a common slope (shape parameter) can be examined. In this example, the linearity of the data supports the use of the Weibull distribution. In addition, the data appear parallel on this plot, therefore reinforcing the assumption of a common beta. Further statistical analysis can and should be performed for these purposes as well.
The Life vs. Stress plot is a very common plot for the analysis of accelerated data. Life vs. Stress plots can be very useful in assessing the effect of each stress on a product's failure. In this case, since the life is a function of three stresses, three different plots can be created. Such plots are created by holding two of the stresses constant at the desired use level, and varying the remaining one. The use stress levels for this example are 328K for temperature and 10V for voltage. For the operation type, a decision has to be made by the engineers as to whether they implement on/off or continuous operation. The next two figures display the effects of temperature and voltage on the life of the product.

<br>
<br>
[[Image:ALTA11.3.gif|thumb|center|300px|Effects of voltage on life.]]
<br>
<br>
The effects of the two different operation types on life can be observed in the next figure. It can be seen that the on/off cycling has a greater effect on the life of the product in terms of accelerating failure than the continuous operation. In other words, a higher reliability can be achieved by running the product continuously.
