Competing Failure Modes |
This example compares the competing failure mode calculations.
Reference Case
The data set is from Table 15.1 on page 383 in the book Statistical Methods for Reliability Data by Dr. Meeker and Dr. Escobar, John Wiley & Sons, 1998.

Result
In the book, parameters 
- For failure mode s, the log-likelihood value is -101.36.
- For failure mode s,
= 6.11 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.27, 6.95].
- For failure mode s,
= 1.49 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [0.94, 2.36].
- For failure mode w, the log-likelihood value is -47.16.
- For failure mode w,
= 5.83 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.62, 6.04].
- For failure mode w,
Results in Weibull++
- The following picture shows the ML estimates and the variance covariance matrix for each failure mode.
- The following picture shows the 95% confidence intervals for the parameters of each failure mode.
- In terms of
- For failure mode s,
= 6.11 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.27, 6.95].
- For failure mode s,
= 1.49 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [0.94, 2.36].
- For failure mode w,
= 5.83 and its approximated 95% confidence interval are [5.62, 6.04].
- For failure mode w,
- For failure mode s,
The above results are exactly the same as the results in the book.
