Theory and Applications of Hazard Plotting for Censored Failure Data

Nelson, Wayne·2000·Technometrics

Abstract

This paper presents theory and applications of a simple graphical method, called hazard plotting, for the analysis of multiply censored life data consisting of failure times of failed units intermixed with running times on unfailed units. Applications of the method are given for multiply censored data on service life of equipment, for strength data on an item with different failure modes, and for biological data multiply censored on both sides from paired comparisons. Theory for the hazard plotting method, which is based on the hazard function of a distribution, is developed from the properties of order statistics from Type II multiply censored samples.

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.
