What if you used the number of units that have failed since 1989 to estimate a failure rate (say, 2 units over 18 yrs = 0.111 units per year)?
And we'll make up a confidence interval, say 99% of units have an expected useful life of 30 years.
My gut says that Poisson can be modified to solve...
Hi guys
I'm working on a project and I'm trying to put together a cost analysis for some items. I remember in University handling similar problems, but I don't remember the methodology.
Here is what I'm trying to do. Given:
- The age of the unit (say, 1989, so 18 yrs)
- The expected useful life...
