Abstract By usig data that are the mileages for some military persoel carriers that failed i service give by Grubbs (97 ad Krishamoorthy ad Mathew (2009 a Bayesia procedure is applied to obtai cotrol limits for the locatio ad scale parameters, as well as for a oe-sided upper tolerace limit i the case of the two-parameter expoetial distributio. A compariso betwee the assumptios of < µ < ad 0 < µ < are also made. A advatage of the upper tolerace limit is that it moitors the locatio ad scale parameter at the same time. By usig Jereys' o-iformative prior, the predictive distributios of future maximum likelihood estimators of the locatio ad scale parameters are derived aalytically. The predictive distributios are used to determie the distributio of the ru-legth ad expected ru-legth. This paper illustrates the exibility ad uique features of the Bayesia simulatio method. Keywords: Jereys' prior, two-parameter expoetial, Bayesia procedure, ru-legth, cotrol chart Itroductio I this sectio the same otatio will be used as give i Krishamoorthy ad Mathew (2009 with the exceptio that the locatio parameter ca ow take o values betwee ad, similarly as i some literature, see for example Johso ad Kotz (970. Therefore the two-parameter expoetial distributio has the probability desity fuctio f (x; µ, { } exp (x µ x > µ, < µ <, > 0 where µ is the locatio parameter ad the scale parameter. As before, let X, X 2,..., X be a sample of observatios from the two-parameter expoetial distributio. The maximum likelihood estimators for µ ad are give by ˆµ X ( ad ˆ ( Xi X ( X X( i where X ( is the miimum or the rst order statistic of the sample. It is well kow (see Johso ad Kotz (970; Lawless (982; Krishamoorthy ad Mathew (2009 that ˆµ ad ˆ are idepedetly distributed with (ˆµ µ χ2 2 2 ad ˆ χ2 2 2 2. (. Let ˆµ 0 ad ˆ 0 be observed values of ˆµ ad ˆ the it follows from Equatio. that a geeralized pivotal quatity (GPQ for µ is give by G µ ˆµ 0 χ2 2 ˆ χ 2 0 (.2 2 2 ad a GPQ for is give by 2

G 2ˆ 0 χ 2 2 2 (.3 From a Bayesia perspective it will be show that G µ ad G are actually the posterior distributios of µ ad if the prior p (µ, is used. 2 Bayesia Procedure I this sectio it will be show that the Bayesia procedure is the same as the geeralized variable approach. If a sample of observatios are draw from the two-parameter expoetial distributio, the the likelihood fuctio is give by ( { } L (µ, data exp (x i µ. i As prior the Jereys' prior p (µ, will be used. The joit posterior distributio of µ ad is p (, µ data p (µ, L (µ, data K ( + exp { ( x µ} < µ < x (, 0 < < (2. It ca easily be show that K (ˆ Γ ( where ˆ x x (.

The distributio of the geeralized pivotal quatities G µ ad G deed i Equatios.2 ad.3 are exactly the same as the posterior distributios p (µ data ad p ( data give i Equatios 2.2 ad 2.3. Proof. The proof is give i Appedix A. 3 The Predictive Distributios of Future Sample Locatio ad Scale Maximum Likelihood Estimators, ˆµ f ad ˆ f Cosider a future sample of m observatios from the two-parameter expoetial populatio: X f, X 2f,..., X mf. The future sample mea is deed as Xf m m j X jf. The smallest value i the sample is deoted by ˆµ f ad ˆ f X f ˆµ f. To obtai cotrol charts for ˆµ f ad ˆ f their predictive distributios must rst be derived. If < µ <, the the descriptive statistics, posterior distributios ad predictive distributios will be deoted by a tilde (~. Theorem 3.. The predictive distributio of a future sample locatio maximum likelihood estimator, ˆµ f is give by [ K ( x ˆµ f ] < ˆµ f < x ( f (ˆµ f data [ ] K x ( < ˆµ f < ˆ+m(ˆµ f x ( (3. where K ( m + m 4 (ˆ.

Proof. The proof is give i Appedix B. The reaso why f (ˆµ f data (Equatio 3. diers from f (ˆµ f data is that it is assumed that 0 < µ < { ( } ( which results i a posterior distributio of p (µ data ( ˆ x ( x µ, while for Equatio 3. it is assumed that < µ < ad the posterior distributio for µ is therefore p (µ data ( (ˆ ( x µ.

As metioed i the itroductory sectio, the aim of this article is to obtai cotrol charts for locatio ad scale maximum likelihood estimates as well as for a oe-sided upper tolerace limit. 4. The Predictive Distributio of ˆµ f ( < µ < By usig Equatio 3. the predictive distributio f (ˆµ f data for m 9 future failure mileage data is illustrated i Figure 4..

For < µ <, 9, m 9, the predictive distributio p (ˆµ f data is symmetrical. mea (ˆµ f media (ˆµ f mode (ˆµ f 62. Mode (ˆµ f for < µ < is exactly the same as that for 0 < µ <. A further compariso of Figure 4. ad results from previous report shows that var (ˆµ f 529.2 is somewhat larger that var (ˆµ f 3888.7, whe 0 < µ <. Also the predictive itervals are somewhat wider. A dissatisfactory aspect for < µ < is that the 99.73% iterval (ˆµ f ( 54.85; 477.36, i.e., cotais egative values. I Table 4.2 descriptive statistics are give for the ru-legth ad expected ru-legth.

Also the 95% itervals are somewhat shorter for < µ <. 4.2 A Compariso of the Predictive Distributios for ˆ f I Figure 4.2 comparisos are made betwee f (ˆf data m 2 Γ (m + 2 m (ˆ (ˆf m Γ (m Γ ( ( mˆ f + ˆ m+ 2 0 < ˆ f < ad f (ˆf data m m Γ (m + 2 Γ (m Γ ( { ( ˆ ( } m 2 (ˆf x ( m+ 2 ( m+ 2 mˆ f + ˆ mˆ f + x 0 < ˆ f <.

Also the exact meas ad variaces are very much the same as the umerical values. It therefore seems that whether the assumptio is that < µ < or that 0 < µ < does ot play a big role i the predictio of ˆ f. I Table 4.4 comparisos are made betwee the ru-legths ad expected ru-legths i the case of ˆ f for < µ < ad 0 < µ <. Table 4.4: Descriptive Statistics for the Ru-legth ad Expected Ru-legths i the case of ˆ f, < µ <, 0 < µ < ad β 0.08 < µ < 0 < µ < Descriptive Statistics f (r data Expected Ru-Legth f (r data Expected Ru-Legth Equal Tail Equal Tail Equal Tail Equal Tail Mea 369.29 370.42 375.25 375.25 Media 22.8 229.28 27.4 238.38 Variace 3.884 0 5.2572 0 5 3.955 0 5.2698 0 5 95% Iterval (0; 586 (7.423; 089.7 (0; 602.5 (7.809; 096.7 From Table 4.4 it ca be see that the correspodig statistics for < µ < ad 0 < µ < are for all practical purposes the same. So with respect to ˆ f it does ot really matter whether it is assumed that µis positive or ot. 9

5 Phase I Cotrol Chart for the Scale Parameter i the Case of the Two-parameter Expoetial Distributio Statistical quality cotrol is implemeted i two phases. I Phase I the primary iterest is to assess process statbility. Phase I is the so-called retrospective phase ad Phase II the prospective or moitorig phase. The costructio of Phase I cotrol charts should be cosidered as a multiple testig problem. The distributio of a set of depedet variables (ratios of chi-square radom variables will therefore be used to calculate the cotrol limits so that the false alarm probability (FAP is ot larger tha F AP 0 0.05. To obtai cotrol limits i Phase I, more tha oe sample is eeded. Therefore i the example that follows there will be m 5 samples for a subgroup each of size 0. Example 5. The data i Table 5. are simulated data obtaid from the followig two-parameter expoetial distributio: f (x ij ;, µ { exp x } ij µ i, i, 2,..., m, j, 2,..., ; x ij > µ i 8; µ i 2i; m 5; 0.

It is well kow that ˆ i 2 χ2 2 2 2 Y i ad therefore m i ˆ i 2 m i Y i. Let where Z ˆ i m i ˆ i 2 Y i 2 m i Y i Y i χ 2 2 2. Y i m i Y i i, 2,..., m For further details see also Huma, Chakraborti, ad Smit (200. To obtai a lower cotrol limit for the data i Table 5., the distributio of Z mi mi (Z, Z 2,..., Z m must be obtaied. Figure 5.: Distributio of Z mi mi (Z, Z 2,..., Z m, 00 000 simulatios The distributio of Z mi obtaied from 00 000 simulatios is illustrated i Figure 5.. The value Z 0.05 0.0844 is calculated such that the FAP is at a level of 0.05. The lower cotrol limit is the determied as LCL Z 0.05 m i ˆ i (0.0844(3.470 2.656. Sice ˆ i > 2.656 (i, 2,..., m it ca be cocluded that the scale parameter is uder statistical cotrol.

6 Lower Cotrol Limit for the Scale Parameter i Phase II I the rst part of this sectio, the lower cotrol limit i a Phase II settig will be derived usig the Bayesia predictive distributio. The followig theorem ca easily be proved: Theorem 6.. For the two-parameter expoetial distributio ( { f (x ij ;, µ i exp } (x ij µ i i, 2,..., m, j, 2,...,, ad x ij > µ i the posterior distributio of the parameter give the data is give by ( m( ˆ p ( data Γ (m ( ( ( m( + exp ˆ > 0 a Iverse Gamma Distributio. Proof. The proof is give i Appedix E. Theorem 6.2. Let ˆ f be the maximum likelihood estimator of the scale parameter i a future sample of observatios, the the predictive distributio fo ˆ f is f (ˆf data 2 (ˆf Γ [m ( + ] Γ ( Γ [m ( ] (ˆf ˆ ˆf m( + > 0 + which meas that ˆ f data ˆ m F 2( ;2m( where m ˆ ˆ i. i Proof. The proof is give i Appedix F. At β 0.0027 the lower cotrol limit is obtaied as.8847 for m 5 ad 0. ˆ m F 2( ;2m( (0.0027 3.470 5 (0.29945 Assumig that the process remais stable, the predictive distributio for ˆ f ca als be used to derive the distributio of the ru-legth, that is the umber of samples util the cotrol chart sigals for the rst time. The resultig regio of size β usig the predictive distributio for the determiatio of the ru-leght is deed as ˆ β R(β f (ˆf data dˆ f 2

where R (β (0;.8847 is the lower oe-sided cotrol iterval. Give ad a stable process, the distributio of the ru-legth r is Geometric with parameter ˆ ψ ( f (ˆf dˆ f where f (ˆ is the distributio of a future sample scale parameter estimator give. R(β The value of the parameter is however ukow ad its ucertaity is described by the posterior distributio p ( data. The followig theorem ca also be proved. Theorem 6.3. For give the parameter of the Geometric distributio is ( ψ ( ψ χ 2 2m( for give χ 2 2m( which meas that the parameter is oly depedet o χ2 2m( ad ot o. Proof. The proof is give i Appedix G. As metioed, by simulatig from p ( data the probability desity fuctio of f (ˆf as well as the parameter ψ ( ca be obtaied. This must be doe for each future sample. Therefore, by simulatig a large umber of values from the posterior distributio a large umber of ψ ( values ca be obtaied. A large umber of Geometric ad ru-legth distributios with dieret parameter values (ψ (, ψ ( 2,..., ψ ( l will therefore be available.

From Table 6. it ca be see that as the umber of samples icrease (larger m the mea ad media ru-legths coverge to the expected ru-legth of 370. Further dee ψ ( l l i ψ ( i. From Mezefricke (2002 it is kow ( that as l, ψ ( β 0.0027 ad the harmoic mea of the ucoditioal ru-legth will be 370. Therefore β 0.0027 it does ot matter how small m ad is, the harmoic mea of the ru-legth will always be β if l. I the case of the simulated example the mea ru-legth is 040.88 ad the media ru-legth 56.90. The reaso for these large values is the ucertaity i the parameter estimate because of the small sample size ad umber of samples ( 0 ad m 5. β however ca easily be adjusted to get a mea ru-legth of 370. 7 A Compariso of the Predictive Distributios ad Cotrol Charts for a Oe-sided Upper Tolerace Limit, U f A future sample tolerace limit is deed as U f ˆµ f k 2 ˆf where ˆµ f > µ ad ˆ f > 0.

The dierece i the simulatio procedure for these two desity fuctios is that i the case of f (U f data it is assumed that 0 < µ < { ( } ( which results i a posterior distributio of p (µ data ( ˆ x ( x µ while for f (U f data it is assumed that < µ < ad the posterior distributio for µ is the p (µ data ( (ˆ ( x µ. I the followig gure comparisos are made betwee f (U f data ad f (U f data. 5

I the Bayesia approach prior kowledge about the ukow parameters is formally icorporated ito the process of iferece by assigig a prior distributio to the parameters. The iformatio cotaied i the prior is combied with the likelihood fuctio to obtai the posterior distributio. By usig the posterior distributio the predictive distributios of ˆµ f, ˆ f ad U f ca be obtaied. The theory ad results described i this paper have bee applied to the failure mileages for military carriers aalyzed by Grubbs (97 ad Krishamoorthy ad Mathew (2009. The example illustrates the exibility ad uique features of the Bayesia simulatio method for obtaiig posterior distributios ad ru-legths for ˆµ f, ˆ f ad U f. 7
