Title: Applied Bayesian Analysis for Reliability Problems
Author(s): Ming Li*+
Companies: GE Global Research
Address: Applied Statistics Lab, Niskayuna, NY, , USA
Keywords: Reliability ; Bayesian Analysis ; Informative Prior
Abstract:

In this talk, several reliability problems are solved through Bayesian computation software WinBUGs/OpenBUGs. Informative prior distributions through experts' engineering knowledge are used in the Bayesian analysis. The results from the informative priors and non-informative priors are compared. Several technical points of how to leverage WinBUGs/OpenBUGs functions for reliability problems are also discussed. This is a joint work with William Q. Meeker at Department of Statistics, Iowa State University.
