Abstract:
|
In this paper, a Bayesian approach to an accelerated life testing model with two stress variables is presented. Lifetimes are assumed to follow a log-normal distribution and the generalised Eyring model is used as the time transformation function. This model allows for the use of one thermal stressor and one non-thermal stressor. Due to the mathematically intractable posteriors, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are utilised to obtain posterior samples to base inference on.
