Choosing the right time scale is crucial for reliability and survival analysis when multiple usage measures exist. This study explores defining and identifying optimal time scales for performance assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Reliability Engineering
  • Survival Analysis
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Multiple usage measures (e.g., age, flight hours, landings) often exist in reliability applications.
  • No single, universally 'best' time scale may be apparent for assessing unit performance or time to failure.
  • Alternative time scales are common in medical and biological survival analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define criteria for an optimal 'good' time scale in reliability and survival analysis.
  • To present methodologies for selecting the most appropriate time scale when multiple measures are available.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework for defining a 'good' time scale.
  • Exploration of statistical approaches for time scale determination.

Main Results:

  • Identified challenges in unique time scale selection for reliability.
  • Proposed criteria for evaluating and selecting time scales.

Conclusions:

  • The choice of time scale significantly impacts reliability and survival analysis outcomes.
  • Methods for selecting an appropriate time scale are essential for accurate performance assessment.
