moranda.geometric: Maximum Likelihood estimation of mean value function for...

In Reliability: Functions for estimating parameters in software reliability models

Description

moranda.geometric computes the Maximum Likelihood estimates for the parameters D and theta of the mean value function for the Moranda-Geometric model.

Usage

moranda.geometric(t, init = c(0, 1), tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25)

Arguments

t	time between failure data
init	initial values for Maximum Likelihood fit of the mean value function for the Moranda-Geometric model.
tol	the desired accuracy

Details

This function estimates the parameters D and theta of the mean value function for the Moranda-Geometric model. With Maximum Likelihood estimation one gets the following equation, which have to be minimized, to get phi. This is

\frac{∑_{i = 1}^{n} i φ^i t_i}{∑_{i = 1}^{n} φ^i t_i} - \frac{n + 1}{2} = 0.

The solution of these is then put in in the following equation in order to get D

D = \frac{φ n}{∑_{i = 1}^{n} φ^i t_i}.

Where t is the time between failure data and n is the length or in other words the size of the time between failure data.

Value

A list containing following components:

rho	Maximum Likelihood estimate for rho
theta	Maximum Likelihood estimate for theta
