Test-Find-Test Data Reference Example
|
This example compares the results for test-find-test data.
Reference Case
International Standard IEC 61164 (Reliability Growth in Product Design and Test – Statistical Test and Estimation Methods), Example 4, pg. 32.
For this example, the following will be calculated:
- Parameters of the Crow Extended model
- Unseen BD mode failure intensity
- Cramér-von Mises goodness of fit for BD modes: *DMTBF = 88.9 hours
- Demonstrated MTBF (DMTBF)
- Projected PMTBF (PMTBF)

Result
The book has the following results:
- BetaBD (UnB) = 0.7472, LambdaBD = 0.0326
- Unseen BD Mode Failure Intensity = 0.0030/hr
- Goodness of fit for BD modes: CVM = 0.085, critical value = 0.171 with significance level = 0.1. Since CVM < critical value can fail to reject hypothesis that the model fits the data.
Results in RGA
In RGA, the Crow Extended model with the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method was used to calculate the results.
For a test-find-test, the assumption is [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta =1 }[/math]. Therefore:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align}
DMTBF=&\frac{T}{N}\\
\\
=&\frac{4000}{45}\\
\\
=&88.8889\; \; \mathrm{hours}
\end{align}\,\! }[/math]
- The model parameters are:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align}
\lambda _{p}=&\lambda _{A}+\sum_{i=1}^{N_{BD}}\left ( 1-d_{i} \right )\lambda _{i}+\bar{d}h\left ( T \right )\\
\\
=&\frac{N_{A}}{T}+\sum_{i=1}^{N_{BD}}\left ( 1-d_{i} \right )\frac{N_{i}}{T}+\bar{d}\lambda _{BD}\beta _{BD}T^{\beta -1}\\
\\
=&\frac{13}{4000}+0.002+\left ( 0.7188 \right )\left ( 0.032572 \right )\left ( 0.74715 \right )\left ( 4000 \right )^{0.7472-1}\\
\\
=&0.007398\\
\\
PMTBF=&\frac{1}{\lambda _{p}}\\
\\
=&135.17 \; \; \mathrm{hours}
\end{align}\,\! }[/math]
