2 Chaper 4 Locaion-Scale-Based Parameric Disribuions Objecives Explain imporance of parameric models in he analysis of reliabiliy daa. Define imporan funcions of model parameer ha are of ineres in reliabiliy sudies. Inroduce he locaion-scale and log-locaion-scale families of disribuions. Describe he properies of he exponenial disribuion. Describe he Weibull and lognormal disribuions and he relaed underlying locaion-scale disribuions. 4-2

3 Moivaion for Parameric Models Complemens nonparameric echniques. Parameric models can be described concisely wih jus a few parameers, insead of having o repor an enire curve. I is possible o use a parameric model o exrapolae (in ime) o he lower or upper ail of a disribuion. Parameric models provide smooh esimaes of failure-ime disribuions. In pracice i is ofen useful o compare various parameric and nonparameric analyses of a daa se. 4-3

4 Funcions of he Parameers Cumulaive disribuion funcion (cdf) of T F(;θ) = Pr(T ), > 0. The p quanile of T is he smalles value p such ha F( p ;θ) p. Hazard funcion of T h(;θ) = f(;θ) 1 F(;θ), >

5 Funcions of he Parameers-Coninued The mean ime o failure, MTTF, of T (also known as expecaion of T) E(T) = f(;θ)d = [1 F(;θ)] d. 0 0 If 0 f(;θ)d =, we say ha he mean of T does no exis. The variance (or he second cenral momen) of T and he sandard deviaion Var(T) = SD(T) = 0 [ E(T)]2 f(;θ)d Var(T). Coefficien of variaion γ 2 γ 2 = SD(T) E(T). 4-5

6 Locaion-Scale Disribuions Y belongs o he locaion-scale family of disribuions if he cdf of Y can be expressed as ( ) y µ F(y;µ,) = Pr(Y y) = Φ, < y < where < µ < is a locaion parameer and > 0 is a scale parameer. Φ is he cdf of Y when µ = 0 and = 1 and Φ does no depend on any unknown parameers. Noe: The disribuion of Z = (Y µ)/ does no depend on any unknown parameers. 4-6

7 Imporance of Locaion-Scale Disribuions Imporance due o: Mos widely used saisical disribuions are eiher members of his class or closely relaed o his class of disribuions: exponenial, normal, Weibull, lognormal, loglogisic, logisic, and exreme value disribuions. Mehods of inference, saisical heory, and compuer sofware generaed for he general family can be applied o his large, imporan class of models. Theory for locaion-scale disribuions is relaively simple. 4-7

Popular disribuion for some kinds of elecronic componens (e.g., capaciors or robus, high-qualiy inegraed circuis). This disribuion would no be appropriae for a populaion of elecronic componens having failure-causing qualiy-defecs. Migh be useful o describe failure imes for componens ha exhibi physical wearou only afer expeced echnological life of he sysem in which he componen would be insalled. 4-10

15 Moivaion for Lognormal Disribuion The lognormal disribuion is a common model for failure imes. I can be jusified for a random variable ha arises from he produc of a number of idenically disribued independen posiive random quaniies. I has been suggesed as an appropriae model for failure ime caused by a degradaion process wih combinaions of random raes ha combine muliplicaively. Widely used o describe ime o fracure from faigue crack growh in meals. Useful in modeling failure ime of a populaion elecronic componens wih a decreasing hazard funcion (due o a small proporion of defecs in he populaion). Useful for describing he failure-ime disribuion of cerain degradaion processes. 4-15

Failure of a sysem wih a large number of componens in series and wih approximaely independen failure mechanisms in each componen. The more common jusificaion for is use is empirical: he Weibull disribuion can be used o model failure-ime daa wih a decreasing or an increasing hazard funcion. 4-21
