Chapter Chapter 14 in Warranty Data Collection and Analysis, 2011, pp 349-378 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we look at the analysis of 2-D warranty data. Here we encounter several new issues that are different from those of 1-D warranty data. We discuss two data structures and four alternative scenarios. The latter depend on what data relevant to the 2-D warranty policy have been collected. For this policy, the unavailability of information on censored items leads to difficulties in estimation of the life distribution of the items. We look at three approaches to modeling failuresᾢconditioning on usage rate, composite scale, and bivariate distribution function. The models are applied to forecasting warranty claims and warranty costs.
