Lognormal Distribution General Example Interval Data

Determine the lognormal parameter estimates for the data given in the table below.

Non-Grouped Data Times-to-Failure with intervals (lnterval and left censored)
Data point index	Last Inspected	State End Time
1	30	32
2	32	35
3	35	37
4	37	40
5	42	42
6	45	45
7	50	50
8	55	55

Solution

This is a sequence of interval times-to-failure where the intervals vary substantially in length. Using Weibull++, the computed parameters for maximum likelihood are calculated to be:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{{\hat{\mu }}}^{\prime }}= & 3.64 \\ & {{{\hat{\sigma' }}}}= & 0.18 \end{align} }[/math]

For rank regression on [math]\displaystyle{ X\ \ : }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{{\hat{\mu }}}^{\prime }}= & 3.64 \\ & {{{\hat{\sigma' }}}}= & 0.17 \end{align} }[/math]

For rank regression on [math]\displaystyle{ Y\ \ : }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{{\hat{\mu }}}^{\prime }}= & 3.64 \\ & {{{\hat{\sigma' }}}}= & 0.21 \end{align} }[/math]
