Results in Weibull++
The coordinates of each point in the following plot shows the failure time and the corresponding median rank.
The differences between the results in Weibull++ and the book are due to the method of calculating the median ranks (MR). In the book, the following approximation method is used.
- [math]\displaystyle{ MR_{i}\approx \frac{MON_{i}-0.3}{N+0.4} }[/math]
where [math]\displaystyle{ MR_{i}\,\! }[/math] is the median rank at the [math]\displaystyle{ ith\,\! }[/math] failure time; [math]\displaystyle{ MON_{i}\,\! }[/math] is the mean order number; [math]\displaystyle{ N\,\! }[/math] is the total samples. For the step by step calculation of mean order number (MON), please refer to the book “Reliability & Life Testing Handbook Vol 2” by Dr. Kececioglu, Prentice-Hall, 1994.
In Weibull++, the following exact method is used.
- [math]\displaystyle{ MR_{i}= \frac{1}{1+\frac{N-MON_{i}+1}{MON_{i}}F_{0.5,m,n}} }[/math]
where [math]\displaystyle{ m=2(N-MON_{i}+1), n=2xMON_{i}\cdot F_{0.5,m,n}\,\! }[/math] is the 50 percentile of a F distribution with degree of freedom of m and n.
