Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Reliability Engineering
  • Survival Analysis

Background:

  • Lognormal distribution exhibits nonmonotonic failure rates and mean residual life functions (MRLF).
  • Identifying change points in these functions is crucial for accurate reliability assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and estimate the change points of the failure rate and MRLF for the lognormal distribution.
  • To apply these findings to real-world survival data.

Main Methods:

  • Deriving change points as solutions to nonlinear equations.
  • Estimating change points using bootstrap and jackknife methods for survival data.
  • Constructing confidence bands for failure rate and MRLF.

Main Results:

  • Change points for lognormal failure rate and MRLF are determined by specific nonlinear equations.
  • Estimates for change points were successfully obtained for guinea pig survival data.
  • Bootstrap and jackknife methods provided standard deviations for these estimates.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a method for identifying and estimating critical change points in lognormal distribution parameters.
  • The findings are applicable to survival data analysis in fields like reliability and biostatistics.
  • Confidence bands offer insights into the behavior and uncertainty of estimated change points.
