Case 5: 2+ Failures

Data Types:

All

Methods of Analysis

All

Confidence Bounds Calculations?

Yes

Distributions

All except mixed Weibull

Competing Failure Modes?

Yes

Note that unless sufficient data are present, some distributions of 3 or more parameters may not be available, or the application may be unable to converge for a solution. In general, when using distributions with 3 or more parameters, you should have at least 5 distinct failure points per parameter.
