1 Bayesan Plannng of Ht-Mss Inspecton Tests Yew-Meng Koh a and Wllam Q Meeker a a Center for Nondestructve Evaluaton, Department of Statstcs, Iowa State Unversty, Ames, Iowa 5000 Abstract Although some useful general gudelnes est for plannng nondestructve nspecton studes (eg, n MIK- HDBK 83A), statstcal tools provde more defntve gudance and allow comparson among dfferent proposed study plans It s possble to obtan epressons for estmaton precson (eg, gvng the relatve wdth of a confdence nterval), provdng an assessment and comparson of alternatve test plans One problem s that estmaton precson depends on the unknown actual underlyng POD functon Engneers generally have some nformaton about the true POD functon, based on some combnaton of knowledge of the physcs behnd the nspecton method or prevous eperence wth the nspecton method If such uncertan nformaton can be descrbed by a probablty dstrbuton, t s natural to use a Bayesan method to do the test plannng In ths paper we present Bayesan methods to fnd optmum test plans Although the optmum plans have practcal defcences, they provde nsght for developng statstcally effcent compromse plans that are also developed n our work Keywords: Bnary Regresson; Nondestructve Inspecton; Probablty of Detecton; Optmum Test Plan PACS: 050-r, 870 INTRODUCTION Background and Motvaton Nondestructve evaluaton s wdely used to determne the n-servce status of components or the qualty of raw materals and components wthn manufacturng processes Probablty of detecton (POD) s an mportant nspectoncapablty metrc Usually, POD s estmated on the bass of a POD study, n whch a collecton of specmens contanng flaws (eg, cracks) of varyng szes s nspected Commonly asked questons are: How many specmens are needed? and What sze cracks should be used? The answers to these questons depend on several factors, ncludng sources and amounts of varablty n the nspecton process and the degree of precson needed for the POD estmate Related Work Some general gudelnes for desgnng ht-mss POD studes are gven on page 4, Secton 45 of [] The study n [] looks at the effect of sample sze n the desgn of ht-mss POD studes They use smulaton studes to demonstrate some conclusons regardng sample sze choce n these desgns Both these presentatons use the classcal approach that assumes knowledge of the model parameter values In [3] the authors proposed a Bayesan approach for optmum desgn wth a logstc regresson model, usng a pror dstrbuton n place of parameter plannng values In ths paper, we also use a Bayesan approach n a more general bnary regresson model that would also allow the use of pror nformaton for nference We focus partcularly on the mportant test-plannng problem of desgnng a htmss nondestructve nspecton to estmate the probablty of detecton and compare such plans wth more practcal optmzed compromse test plans HIT-MISS RESPONSE LOGISTIC REGRESSION MODEL AND LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION Let Y denote a bnary random varable, wth
2 We let for a ht Y = 0 for a mss = log(crack length) Then the logstc bnary regresson model s where logs POD( ) = Pr( Y = ; ) = ( ) ep( ) 0 logs 0 0 ( z ) ep( z ) /[ ep( z )] Ths model can also be epressed as [POD( )] = logs 0 ep( ) where the functon ( p ) = log( p / ( p )) The (possbly transformed) flaw sze that wll be detected wth logs probablty p ( 0 < p <) s = ( ( p) ) / For eample, f a log transformaton s used on the flaw [ p] logs 0 sze then a90 ep( [090] ) s the flaw sze that can be detected wth probablty 090 Generally, the parameters 0 and are unknown and need to be estmated from data Suppose we have k dstnct flaw szes and specmen s nspected once would provde j =,, n Then the lkelhood can be epressed as Data Setup and Lkelhood n flaws at each sze n = n nk bnary responses ( j y 0 j k n e 0 = j= 0 0 y j L(, ) = e e The mamum lkelhood estmates are the values of and that mamze () 0 PRIOR DISTRIBUTION SPECIFICATION Test plannng requres nput nformaton about the model parameters The log flawsze where POD s equal to 05 (known as 50 Data from a POD study n whch each Y ), where =,, k and log( a ) ), and The slope parameter where we can nterpret / as the ncrease n log flawsze when POD s ncreased from 05 to 073 Note that = (05) = 0 logs Informaton about would be more readly avalable as compared to 0 and the elements of (, ), unlke those of ( 0, ), would be epected to be appromately ndependent, makng t easer to specfy pror nformaton, by specfyng only margnal dstrbutons It should be noted that because our formulaton allows pror nformaton to be used n both the test plannng and nference stages, we wll allow for the possblty of usng two potentally dfferent pror dstrbuton specfcatons for these purposes (e a plannng pror and an nferental pror) Ths s justfed because those who plan and conduct the POD eperment have dfferent rsk functons than those who are subject to the effects of nference from the results of the study See Secton IIIC of [5] and references provded there for more dscusson of ths pont ()
