Result
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.
DMTBF = 88.9 hours
PMTBF = 135.1 hours
Results in Weibull++
Since test-find-test, the assumption is [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta =1 }[/math]. Therefore:
