Life Testing and Reliability with Application in Engineering Systems.

Abstract

This report presents a summary of our research under the project entitled 'Life testing and reliability with applications in engineering systems.' Directions of our major advances include: an extensions of the classical stress-strength reliability analyses so as to include informations on the covariates; efficiency studies of the modified least squares estimator's in accelerated life tests; inferences to compare two exponential distributions with jointly censored samples; study of moment properties of the hazard-rate functions and evaluation of the exact Fisher information in censored data; study of the properties of Box-Cox transformations in light of Kullback-Liebler information, and providing guidance for the choice of a transformation of life data towards improved model fitting and inferences.
