Estimation of Failure Rate and its Applications in the Case of Zero-Failure Data

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces a new method, named E-Bayesian estimation method, to estimate failure rate in zero-failure data. The definition of E-Bayesian estimation of the failure rate is given, based on the definition, the formulas of E-Bayesian estimation and hierarchical Bayesian estimation of the failure rate were provided, and properties of the E-Bayesian estimation, i. e. relations between E-Bayesian estimation and hierarchical Bayesian estimation, was discussed. Calculations were performed on practical problems, showing that the proposed new method is feasible and easy to operate.
