Local Polynomial Fitting of the Mean Residual Life Function

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2013
The mean residual life (MRL) function is one of the most important, widely used reliability measures in practice. For example, it is used to design burn-in programs, plan spare provision, and formulate warranty policies. Parametric techniques, which rely on the assumption that the parametric form of the failure time is known, are usually employed in ...

Mean Residual Life Function, Associated Orderings and Properties

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2010
Although the shape of the failure rate function plays an important role in repair and replacement strategies, the mean residual life (mrl) function is more relevant as the latter summarizes the entire residual life function, whereas the former considers only the risk of instantaneous failure.

On the asymptotic behaviour of mean residual life function

Reliability Engineering, 1987
The mean residual life (MRL) function is very useful in defining a good decision-making criterion for replacement policies and in solving burn-in problems. Furthermore it provides a more descriptive measure of the ageing process than the hazard rate. In this paper a useful relationship between the asymptotic values of the mean residual life function ...

Dynamic multivariate mean residual life functions

Journal of Applied Probability, 1991
In this paper we introduce and study a dynamic notion of mean residual life (mrl) functions in the context of multivariate reliability theory. Basic properties of these functions are derived and their relationship to the multivariate conditional hazard rate functions is studied.

Estimation of the mean residual life function in the presence of measurement errors

Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2018
The data available for statistical analysis from many scientific areas often come with measurement error. Ignoring measurement error can bring forth biased estimates and lead to erroneous conclusions to various degrees in a data analysis. This paper considers the problem of estimation of the mean residual life function assuming that observed lifetime ...

Evaluating the Reliability Function and the Mean Residual Life for Equipment With Unobservable States

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2010
This article proposes a model to calculate the reliability function, and the mean residual (remaining) life of a piece of equipment, when its degradation state is not directly observable. At each observation moment, an indicator of the underlying unobservable degradation state is observed, and the monitoring information is collected.

Nonparametric Tests for Comparing Two Mean Residual Life Functions

Lifetime Data Analysis, 1997
We present nonparametric tests for the comparison of two mean residual life functions. We propose a new graphical approach for the simultaneous comparison of two mean residual life functions and their corresponding failure rate functions. We also consider the problem of testing against crossing mean residual life functions.
