When products start failing, management wants answers. Are they failing because of manufacturing problems? Or is the design to blame? One of the most widely regarded methods for ferreting out the ...

In this paper an estimator of the location parameter of the Weibull distribution is proposed which is independent of its scale and shape parameters. Several properties of this estimator are ...

To find an appropriate model for a process distribution, you should consider curves from several distribution families. As shown in this example, you can use the HISTOGRAM statement to fit more than ...

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 ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Continuous probability distributions have long been used to model the wind data. No single distribution can be declared accurate for all ...

For each distribution, the baseline survival distribution function (S) and the probability density function(f) are listed for the additive random disturbance. These distributions apply when the log of ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...
