Hazard Plotting for Incomplete Failure Data
Abstract
Incomplete failure data consisting of times to failure on failed units and differing running times on unfailed units are called multiply censored. Data on units operating in the field, for example, are usually multiply censored. Presented in this paper is a method of plotting multiply censored data on hazard paper to obtain engineering information on the distribution of time to failure. Step-by-step instructions on how to plot and interpret data on hazard paper are given with the aid of examples based on real and simulated data. Hazard paper is presented here for the exponential, Weibull, normal, log normal, and extreme value distributions. The theory underlying hazard paper and plotting is presented in an appendix.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
