2 Confidence Limits 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 2

3 Binomial Confidence Limits (Solution 6.2) UCL: Prob of 30% units failing or less is < 0.05 LCL: Prob of 30% units failing or more is < 0.05 UCL = 60.7% LCL = 8.7% 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 3

4 Synthesizing Binomial Data 1000 units 0.416% prob of fail 4.16 units expected BINOMDIST(fails, samples, prob, TRUE) CRITBINOM(samples, prob, CDF) RAND() 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 4

5 Why Chi-Square for Exponential CL? Answer: a gamma or a chi-square distribution Confidence intervals taken from that 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 5

6 Solution 6.3 Confidence Limits CL values MC Analytic Upper CL Best estimate Lower CL Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 6

7 Confidence Limits Summary Confidence limits (UCL and LCL) are values between which (2-sided) or above or below which (1-sided) the true population value falls with <confidence level> probability Units are whatever units your data uses Confidence level is the probability that the true value lies between (or above or below) your confidence limit(s). CL can mean either confidence limit or confidence level Use context to decide Confidence limits can be calculated Analytically (best if available) Monte Carlo (will work for any distribution) Likelihood methods (coming soon) Monte Carlo confidence limits work regardless of how you calculate the best estimate 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 7

12 Exercise 7.1 Add a chi-square goodness-of-fit test for each of the 4 fits in our synthesized data sheet 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 12

14 Maximum Likelihood Method and the Exponential Distribution 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 14

15 MLE Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is a fitting technique that is good for any model Principle We can t ask: What is the most likely model? Because we don t have some well-defined space of possible models We can ask: Given this model, how likely is this data set? (This is a fairly Bayesian approach. We are usually frequentists.) 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 15

17 Likelihood for each point Use MLE For exact values (exact times to fail), use the PDF For ranges (failed between two readout times), use CDF delta Multiply all together (or add logs) Choose a model functional form with adjustable parameters Adjust the parameters to maximize the likelihood 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 17

18 MLE for Exponential Data For a complete set of times to fail, likelihood is the PDF: t PDF i i e Take log of PDF: ln PDF ln i t i Add up likelihood for each data point: Device hours t i i L i ln PDF i ln t i N ln i i t i Then choose λ to maximize L Sample Size N 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 18

52 Exercise Use MLE to determine Weibull fit parameters for the readout data given below and on the Ex16 tab. Also, find (separate) 90% confidence intervals for each parameter using the likelihood ratio technique. (That is the confidence where the LR=0.1.) 30 Jan 2013 ECE 510 S.C.Johnson, C.G.Shirley 52

54 Exercise Add a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to your fit from part (a).
