CONFIDENCED NORMAL AND LOGNORMAL RELIABILITY FOR ANY SAMPLE SIZE

Abstract

For a given mission life (x), an exact 100C% lower confidence limit on population reliability is found. The conditions and/or assumptions underlying this analysis are: (1) The population is either normal or lognormal, (2) A sample of two or more representative failures is available. Neyman's general classical method of confidence intervals is used. This is possible because the distribution of the reliability estimator is a one parameter distribution which is independent of both failure density parameters and mission life. (Author)
