摘要

Abstract

With the help of relative entropy theory

norm theory

and bootstrap methodology

a new hypothesis testing method is proposed to verify reliability with a three-parameter Weibull distribution. Based on the relative difference information of the experimental value vector to the theoretical value vector of reliability

six criteria of the minimum weighted relative entropy norm are established to extract the optimal information vector of the Weibull parameters in the reliability experiment of product lifetime. The rejection region used in the hypothesis testing is deduced via the area of intersection set of the estimated truth-value function and its confidence interval function of the three-parameter Weibull distribution. The case studies of simulation lifetime

helicopter component failure

and ceramic material failure indicate that the proposed method is able to reflect the practical situation of the reliability experiment.
