1P-Weibull with Zero Failure Data
|
This example validates the calculations for a 1-parameter Weibull with zero failure data in Weibull++ standard folios.
Reference Case
The data set from Table 8.2 on page 196 of the book Statistical Methods for Reliability Data by Dr. Meeker and Dr. Escobar, John Wiley & Sons, 1998 is used.
Data
| Number in State | State F or S | Time to Failure |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | S | 500 |
| 12 | S | 1000 |
| 8 | S | 1500 |
| 9 | S | 2000 |
| 7 | S | 2500 |
| 9 | S | 3000 |
| 6 | S | 3500 |
| 3 | S | 4000 |
