Abstract:
A general modeling approach is presented that
allows parametric modeling of the mean residual life so that
maximum-likelihood estimation of models can be done. This will
enable such parametric models to be estimated for complete discrete
data as well as right-censored discrete data. A simple example is
presented where the mean residual life increases, then decreases;
however, the hazard rate also increases, drops suddenly at one
cycle, and then increases again. Two reasonable industrial
explanations of such unusual behavior are discussed
