Abstract:
|
A competing risks framework refers to multiple risks acting simultaneously on a subject or on a system which may eventually lead to an event such as a system failure. In the setting of accelerated testing, the subject or system is further exposed to an increasing level of stress, which in turn, may affect the competing risks. We consider a general Bayesian formulation in this setup. A further complication is introduced in this scenario when the causes of failure of some systems are not fully identified. The methodology is illustrated in a numerical example.
