Reliability Estimation in Series Systems: Maximum Likelihood Techniques for Right-Censored and Masked Failure Data

Maximum likelihood estimation of component reliability from masked failure data in series systems, with BCa bootstrap confidence intervals validated through extensive simulation studies.

Reliability Analysis and the Problem of Censored Data

One of the most interesting statistical problems I’ve encountered is reliability analysis with censored data—situations where you know something didn’t fail, but not when it will fail.
