Some Aging Properties of Weibull Models


Abstract


In this paper, we derive the reversed hazard rate of some well-knownWeibull models, which are widely used in reliability analysis. Thecomparison of reversed hazard rate along with hazard rate, and agingintensity function is done with the help of numerical examples.
