In this paper, constant–stress partially accelerated life tests (PALT) are considered for a product with the assumption that the lifetime of the product follows Weibull distribution with known shape parameter and unknown scale parameter. Based on data obtained using Type-II censoring, the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the Weibull parameters and acceleration factor are obtained assuming linear and Arrhenius relationships with the lifetime characteristics and stress. Exact distributions of the MLEs of the parameters of Weibull distribution are also obtained. Optimal acceptance sampling plans are developed using both linear and Arrhenius relationships. Some numerical results are also presented to illustrate the resulted test plans.

With the purpose of understanding differing shapes of sales curve (unimodal and bimodal) this paper discusses a naive way for viewing the diffusion process for consumer durables. In this paper, a step functional model involving two-step Weibull distribution with four unknown parameters is characterized wherein the shape of the density function of the models depends upon the shape and scale parameter of Weibull distribution. Empirical analysis on real life sales datasets indicates that the Weibull step function model is more flexible and fits better than the other models.

In order to make statistic analysis on lifetime data for web game, the two-parameter Weibull distribution was applied to describe its distribution. The shape parameter and the scale parameter were given by maximum likelihood estimation. When a web game followed Weibull distribution, the lifetime parameters are calculated via Matlab. The results show that the proposed model is appropriate to estimate the web game lifetime.
