In this article a deficiency in the classical approach is pointed out and a new method for the statistical analysis of life data, especially for electronic products, under progressive stress (voltage) V(t)=Kt is given. Using the Bayesian method, for certain choices of the prior distribution, several forms of estimators of the parameters in the normal stress Weibull distribution and the inverse power law model are derived. In particular, when the new shape parameter of the distribution under progressive stress is given (or estimated in advance), the closed forms of these estimators are relatively simple and are numerically accessible on computers. The formulations are given for the general case and are illustrated for a special simple case. Comparison with the classical approach using pseudorandom data as well as real data on solid tantatum electrolytic capacitors shows that the proposed method is better and more effective.展开更多
