Result

In the book, parameters [math]\displaystyle{ \mu\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma\,\! }[/math] are used for the Weibull distribution. They are defined by [math]\displaystyle{ \mu = ln(\eta)\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma = \frac{1}{\beta}\,\! }[/math]. The results are:

  • For failure mode s, the log-likelihood value is -101.36.
  • For failure mode s, [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_{s}\,\! }[/math] = 6.11 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.27, 6.95].
  • For failure mode s, [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{s}\,\! }[/math] = 1.49 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [0.94, 2.36].
  • For failure mode w, the log-likelihood value is -47.16.
  • For failure mode w, [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_{w}\,\! }[/math] = 5.83 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.62, 6.04].
  • For failure mode w, [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{s}\,\! }[/math] = 0.23 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [0.12, 0.44].

  • In terms of [math]\displaystyle{ \mu\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma\,\! }[/math], the results are:
  • For failure mode s, [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_{s} = ln(\eta_{s})\,\! }[/math] = 6.11 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.27, 6.95].
  • For failure mode s, [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{s} = \frac{1}{\beta_{s}}\,\! }[/math] = 1.49 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [0.94, 2.36].
  • For failure mode w, [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_{w} = ln(\eta_{w})\,\! }[/math] = 5.83 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.62, 6.04].
  • For failure mode w, [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{s} = \frac{1}{\beta_{s}}\,\! }[/math] = 0.23 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [0.12, 0.44].

The above results are exactly the same as the results in the book.
