In this paper we assume that the failures of a system follow a non-homogenous Poisson process (NHPP) with a power law intensity function. NHPP is a model commonly used to describe a system with minimal repairs. In many situations, such as hidden failures, failure times of a system are subject to censoring. Current trend analysis methods in the literature for NHPP consider only right censoring and...
A new method is developed by the author to reduce the bias of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) with small sample sizes. The new method is based on a special case of the Fre?chet distribution. The special case of the Fre?chet distribution is now referred as the ?New Distribution? in this article and/or the ?Reduce Bias Factor? Distribution. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the ?New...
