This example considers a data set given in Lawless (1982). The data are the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last two observations are censored. Maximum ...

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 ...

This paper is an extension of previous work by the writer concerning progressively censored sampling in the normal distribution [4] and in the Weibull distribution [6]. Here local maximum likelihood ...

Small samples with censored data, when analyzed by large-sample methods, yield confidence intervals that are too short. This article presents tables for exact confidence limits for the parameters of a ...

The normal distribution is the probability distribution that plots all of its values along a symmetrical bell curve, with the highest probabilities centered around the mean value and tapering out ...

Review challenges in the use of normality testing situations and recommendations on how to assess data distributions in the pharmaceutical development manufacturing environment Statisticians ...
