| | 11.4 | Parametric estimation and testing. Maximum likelihood. Information matrix. Confidence intervals. Probability plots (MINITAB). | |
| | Ch. 12 | Regression methods. Covariates. Weibull regression. Cox-regression. Accellerated lifetime testing. | Example 12.2 page 532 and rest of Ch. 12 are not covered. |
| | Ch. 7 | Point processes. Recurrent events. Repairable systems. Poisson processes and renewal processes. Modelling and statistical analysis of data. Likelihood-methods. | The following is covered (not always in detail): 7.1 only to 7.1.3; most of 7.2, but only to 7.2.6; 7.3 to 7.3.4; but in addition 7.3.8; most of 7.4. Pooled versions of Laplace and Mil-Hdbk tests (as used by MINITAB). |
