Accelerated Life Models

Statistical models describing dependence of the lifetime distribution on the explanatory variables are considered. Such models are used in reliability and survival analysis to study the reliability of complex systems. Keywords: accelerated experiment; AFT model; accelerated life testing; cumulative exposure model; changing shape and scale model; Sedyakin model; nonparametric model; parametric model; power generalized Weibull family; semiparametric model; time-varying stress
