Nonparametric Methods in Reliability.

چکیده
Probabilistic and statistical models for the occurrence of a recurrent event over time are described. These models have applicability in the reliability, engineering, biomedical and other areas where a series of events occurs for an experimental unit as time progresses. Nonparametric inference methods, in particular, the estimation of a relevant distribution function, are described.

Reliability Estimation for Single Dichotomous Items based on Mokken's IRT Model
Item reliability is of special interest for Mokken’s nonparametric item response theory, and is useful for the evaluation of item quality in nonparametric test construction research. It is also of interest for nonparametric person-fit analysis. Three methods for the estimation of the reliability of single dichotomous items are discussed. All methods are based on the assumptions of nondecreasing...
متن کاملComparison of methods in the analysis of dependent ordered catagorical data
Rating scales for outcome variables produce categorical data which are often ordered and measurements from rating scales are not standardized. The purpose of this study is to apply commonly used and novel methods for paired ordered categorical data to two data sets with different properties and to compare the results and the conditions for use of these models. The two applications consist of a ...
متن کاملDENSITY AND FAILURE RATE ESTIMATION WITH APPLICATION TO RELIABILITY Contribution to the Encyclopedia of Statistics in Quality and Reliability
Density and failure rate estimation are valuable tools to assess and explore the occurrence and timing of failures in reliability and quality control. This article focuses on nonparametric approaches such as histogram, kernel method and other smoothing procedures. Nonparametric density and failure rate estimation is particularly valuable for exploratory data analysis and in situations where ava...
متن کاملNonparametric and Semiparametric Bayesian Reliability Analysis
In this article, we first provide an overview of some nonparametric Bayesian methods of inference using life-history data. These methods include those that use Dirichlet process, gamma process and beta process as the prior. We then present a semiparametric Bayesian method for estimating the reliability of a component in a multi-component system using lifetime data from several systems. This met...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Spatial Risk for a Mean Nonstationary Random Field}
The common methods for spatial risk estimation are investigated for a stationary random field. Because of simplifying, lets distribution is known, and parametric variogram for the random field are considered. In this paper, we study a nonparametric spatial method for spatial risk. In this method, we model the random field trend by a local linear estimator, and through bias-corrected residuals, ...
