Chapter Chapter 3 in Reliability and Survival Analysis, 2019, pp 33-56 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The survival patterns of different products, components of a system, or lifetimes of a human being or living organisms vary greatly. Hence, different failure time distributions are needed to characterize the diversity contained in the data. This chapter discusses some of the major lifetime distributions (exponential, Weibull, extreme value, normal, and lognormal) applied in reliability and survival analyses. These distributions are used here for analyzing uncensored data only.
