Abstract:
|
In this talk, the statistical inference of the lifetime distribution of component based on observing the system lifetimes with signature available is discussed. A general proportional hazard rate model for the lifetime of the components is considered, which includes some commonly used lifetime distributions. Different estimation methods for the proportional parameter are discussed. Monte Carlo simulation study is used to compare the performance of these estimation methods and recommendations are made based on these results.
