Example 7: Likelihood Ratio Bound for Reliability
For the data given in Example 5, determine the 85% two-sided confidence bounds on the reliability estimate for a [math]\displaystyle{ t=50 }[/math]. The ML estimate for the time at [math]\displaystyle{ t=50 }[/math] is [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{R}=50.881% }[/math].
Solution to Example 7
In this example, we are trying to determine the 85% two-sided confidence bounds on the reliability estimate of 50.881%. This is accomplished by substituting [math]\displaystyle{ t=50 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha =0.85 }[/math] into the likelihood ratio bound equation. It now remains to find the values of [math]\displaystyle{ R }[/math] which satisfy this equation. Since there is only one parameter, there are only two values of [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] that will satisfy the equation. These values represent the [math]\displaystyle{ \delta =85% }[/math] two-sided confidence limits of the reliability estimate [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{R} }[/math]. For our problem, the confidence limits are:
- [math]\displaystyle{ {{\hat{R}}_{t=50}}=(29.861%,71.794%) }[/math]
