This example compares the use of three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull Q-Q plots for the failure times in months for 48 integrated circuits. The times are assumed to follow a Weibull distribution.

To find an appropriate model for a process distribution, you should consider curves from several distribution families. As shown in this example, you can use the HISTOGRAM statement to fit more than ...

The two-parameter Weibull distribution has been recognized as a useful model for survival populations associated with reliability studies and life testing experiments. In the analysis of atmospheric ...

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 ...

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, ...

Selecting a set of bearings to withstand anticipated loads is a common design task with power-transmission equipment. Another deals with finding a cumulative component reliability that exceeds the ...
