In the analysis of multiple failure mode data, tables of estimates of the series-system combined model failure probabilities or quantiles can now be printed. When doing multiple failure mode amalysis, in some cases, it may be desired to use distributions to diferent different failure modes. Options in the dialog for getting contour, perspective, and profile likelihood plots have changed. Now it is possible to request a profile plot without having to generate the contour plot. It is now possible to generate bootstrap confidence intervals for the standard single-distribution model fits through a special dialog under single distribution analyses.
Confidence intervals are available for parameters, quantiles, or failure probabilities.
This capability is experimental. Simple pedagogical Bayesian analysis tools have been added for standard single distribution analyses. These tools allow graphical comparison of samples from the prior, the likelihood, and samples from the posterior, providing a visual perception of the information-updating process in Bayes theorem. Inferences are provided for parameters, quantiles, or failure probabilities. The acceleration factor dialog has been enhanced to provide graphical output of the acceleration factor versus level of the accelerating variable and more than one acceleration factor can be inputted at a time to get two or more accelaration factor lines to show on the same plot.
