This example compares the use of three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull Q-Q plots for the failure times in months for 48 integrated circuits. The times are assumed to follow a Weibull distribution.

In life and fatique testing, multi-censored samples arise when at various stages of a test, some of the survivors are withdrawn from further observation. Sample specimens which remain after each stage ...

Exponentiated Weibull distribution, introduced as an extension of the Weibull distribution, is characterized by bathtub shaped, unimodal failure rates besides a broader class of monotone failure rates ...

Here’s a way to calculate the reliability for designs with several subsystems. • Weibull plots fit a curve through data, not data to a predetermined distribution’s curve. • After evaluating subsystems ...

The following data are taken from Lawless (1982, p.193) and represent the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last 2 observations are censored data from a ...
