Reliability Growth Analysis
Duane and Crow/AMSAA models are supported for reliability growth analysis. To calculate parameter values for the estimation method, Duane models use rank regression while Crow/AMSAA models use MLE (maximum likelihood estimation) or MMLE (modified maximum likelihood estimation). You use the plot generated by reliability growth analysis as an aid in forecasting failures as a function of either additional test time or calendar time, thereby making planning for redesign and test resources easier.
The following table describes the Weibull panes in which you enter data and view calculation results for a reliability growth data set.
