Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we present a new approach for the analysis of lifetime data that are assumed to be described by a two-parameter Weibull distribution. The novel feature of our approach pertains to the incorporation of expert opinion into the analysis. Provision is also made for incorporating our own opinions on the expertise of the experts and also on the lifetimes of items. Our approach involves the use of Laplace’s approximation and this results in formulae which are easy to compute.
