Reliability Analysis Test-Based Interval Estimation Under the Accelerated Failure TimeModel
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accelerated failure time (AFT) model is an important regression tool to study the association between survival time and covariates. Semiparametric inference procedures have been proposed extensively in the literature. Recently, Zhou (2005a) proposed to use a model-based empirical likelihood approach to interval estimation for the AFT model. However, comparison was not made with more standard approaches based on score test and Wald-type test. In this article, we conduct extensive simulation studies to evaluate their relative performance in small samples. In addition to these methods, we also devise and consider model-free empirical likelihood approach for the comparisons. Our simulation results suggest that these empirical likelihood-based methods are not better than the standard approach based on the score test.

Failure Process Modeling with Censored Data in Accelerated Life Tests
Manufacturers need to evaluate the reliability of their products in order to increase the customer satisfaction. Proper analysis of reliability also requires an effective study of the failure process of a product, especially its failure time. So, the Failure Process Modeling (FPM) plays a key role in the reliability analysis of the system that has been less focused on. This paper introduces a f...

متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Step Stress Accelerated Life Tests for Censored Data}
Life testing often is consuming a very long time for testing. Therefore, the engineers and statisticians are looking for some approaches to reduce the running time. There is a recommended method for reducing the time of failure, such that the stress level of the test units will increase, and then they will fail earlier than normal operating conditions. These approaches are called accelerated li...
