Learn how to pinpoint defects in materials or processes for repairable systems and identify design vulnerabilities so you can understand the best way to correct them. 

Repairable: observations depend on the previous failure time. They are only independent when the underlying distribution is Weibull and beta = 1.

Nonrepairable: observations are independent (and identically distributed). When the underlying distribution is Weibull, this relationship holds regardless of the value of beta.

See how to:

• Perform Recurrence Analysis for repairable components
• Perform Recurrence Analysis with a grouping variable
  • Useful for extrapolation of system performance
  • Determine spare parts inventory needs, warranty risk etc.
• Analyze Reliability Growth for concurrent or parallel repairable systems
  • Good for understanding how reliability has changed as a function of design changes
• Use JMP Pro to create Reliability Block Diagrams to show reliability relationships among a system's components and illustrate how component reliability contributes to system success or failure

Q: Can I get confidence intervals/bounds for Recurrence Analysis?

A:  No, not visually.  However, you can specify a time or number of evetns and get confidence intervals on that using Specific Time for Cumulative and Specific Intensity and Cumulative options.  See below:
