<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";margin:0px">This seminar series consists of three approximately one hour lectures in English introducing Weibull regression and its application within reliability studies.  Weibull regression is extremely important
 for accelerated life tests where the assumed failure mechanism is “failure due to the weakest link.”  The final lecture summarizes an actual NASA study that studied the expected failure rates of composite overwrapped pressure vessels very commonly used on
 spacecraft.<span> </span></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";margin:0px"> </span></p>

 the distribution and its various forms, in particular the hazard function, which is extremely important for explain the risk of failure for the system over time.  It then presents a high level overview of estimation and inference of the important parameters.

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";margin:0px">The second lecture covers two major topics.  The first is the power law model critical for accelerated life tests.  Many systems have quite long expected lifetimes.  As a result, engineers often “stress”
 the system to produce failures in a much shorter period of time.  The power law is the most common empirical approach to such testing.  The second major topic is proper residual plots for assessing the assumption of the Weibull distribution.  Some of this
 work appears to be novel.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";margin:0px"> </span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";margin:0px">Traditionally, mathematical statisticians tend to dominate the field of statistical analysis of reliability data.  These people often have little appreciation for linear models and their analyses.  Power
 law models ultimately are linear models that require likelihood based estimation and inference.  This series of lectures illustrates how to combine the mathematical statistics and the linear models theory to enhance the understanding of the experimental results.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";margin:0px"> </span></p>
