Abstract:	We consider a class of degradation models based on nonhomogeneous Gaussian processes.These models are very flexible and accommodate a variety of degradation shapes including increasing, decreasing, and constant degratation rates.This talk will focus on nonparametric estimation of the degradation function under several different data collection schemes.The asymptotic behavior of the estimators and their use for model selection and goodness-of-fit tests will also be discussed.
