Statistical Methods for Reliability Data (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

Product Description

This book improves Meeker and Escobar (1998, Wiley) not only in terms of organization and presentation, but also in extensions and modifications to the technical material. It presents state-of-the-art, computer-based statistical methods for reliability data analysis and for test planning of industrial products. It also improves long time established techniques as it demonstrates how to apply the new graphical, numerical, or simulation-based methods to a broad range of models encountered in reliability data analysis. Bayesian methods in solving practical problems (e.g. models involving random effects or censoring that arises in reliability studies) are now incorporated where appropriate; the…
