Selecting the Correct
Accelerated Life Model
Accelerated testing is
increasingly important to assure product reliability with
reduced development time. Reliability predictions are sensitive
to the accelerated life model selected. This presentation
discusses principles for model selection. Using the fact that
the Eyring, Arrhenius and Inverse Power Law models are nested
special cases of a more general model, this session will present
a statistical test, using existing ReliaSoft software for model
selection among them. Simulation results will illustrate the
power of the test, and we will discuss an example.
Key Words: Eyring,
Arrhenius, Inverse Power Law, Model Selection, ALTA
