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, ...

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 ...

Tables are given for obtaining confidence bounds for the two parameters and the 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles of the two-parameter Weibull or extreme-value distributions. The tables are based on ...

The following data are taken from Lawless (1982, p.193) and represent the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last 2 observations are censored data from a ...

Assume that a (possibly censored) sample is available from a population having a Weibull or extreme value distribution, and that a single future observation is to be obtained from the same population.
