“Failure limited†data and TTT-based trend tests in multiple repairable systems

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2010, vol. 95, issue 6, 704-706

Abstract: Tests for trend in multiple repairable systems based on the total time on test (introduced by Kvaløy and Lindqvist) are valid for data that end at a failure time only if data collection was planned to continue until a predetermined number of failures had occurred. They are not valid for a commoner form of data that end with the last of a random number of failures within a predetermined observation period. The necessary modification to the analysis is given here and appropriate terminology is suggested.
