Example 3

Using the data from Example 1, calculate the mission reliability at T = 2000 hours and mission time d = 40 hours along with the confidence bounds at the 90% confidence level.

Solution

The maximum likelihood estimates of $\widehat{\lambda }$ and $\widehat{\beta }$ from Example 1 are:

MATH

From Eqn. (3), the mission reliability at t = 2000 for mission time d = 40 is: MATH

At the 90% confidence level and T = 2000 hours, the Fisher Matrix confidence bounds for the mission reliability for mission time d = 40 are given by: MATHMATH

The Crow confidence bounds for the mission reliability are: MATH

Figures 13.3 and 13.4 show the Fisher Matrix and Crow confidence bounds on mission reliability for mission time d = 40.
