This example compares the results for the IPL life stress relationship with a lognormal distribution.


Reference Case

The data set is from Example 19.10 on page 504 in book Statistical Methods for Reliability Data by Dr. Meeker and Dr. Escobar, John Wiley & Sons, 1998.

Result

The following function is used for the Ln-Mean [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\mu {}' }[/math]:


[math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\mu {}'=\beta _{0}+\beta _{1}\times log\left ( V \right ) }[/math]


where V is the voltage and its natural log transform is used in the above life stress relation.


This function can be written in the following way:


[math]\displaystyle{ \,\!e^{\mu {}'}=e^{\alpha _{0}+\alpha _{1}log\left ( V \right )} }[/math]


The above equation is the general log-linear model in ALTA. In ALTA, the coefficients are denoted by [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{i} }[/math].


In fact, the above model also can be expressed using the traditional IPL (inverse power law) model:


[math]\displaystyle{ \,\!e^{\mu {}'}=\frac{1}{K\cdot V^{n}} }[/math]


where [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!K=e^{-\alpha _{0}} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!n=-\alpha _{1} }[/math].


In the book, the following results are provided:

  • ML estimations for the model parameters are: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\sigma =1.05 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta _{0}=27.5 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta _{1}=-4.29 }[/math].


  • The standard deviation of each parameter are: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!std\left ( \sigma \right )=0.12 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!std\left ( \beta _{0} \right )=3.0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!std\left ( \beta _{1} \right )=0.6 }[/math].
Therefore, their variances are: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!Var\left ( \sigma \right )=0.0144 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!Var\left ( \beta _{0} \right )=9 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!Var\left ( \beta _{1} \right )=0.36 }[/math].


  • The log-likelihood value is -271.4.


  • The 95% two-sided confidence intervals are: for [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\sigma }[/math] , it is [0.83, 1.32]; for [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta _{0} }[/math] , it is [21.6, 33.4]; and for [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta _{1} }[/math] , it is [-5.46, -3.11].
