Description
The method presented in this paper is provided for engineers' use in rapidly analyzing test or operational use data when the data has not been identified with any of the commonly used failure frequency distributions, such as the Normal, Exponential, or Weibull distributions. This nonparametric method allows determination of reliability (R), percentage of confidence (C), or test sample size (n) required. That is, any one of the values can be determined by this method if the other two are known, assumed, or stipulated.
