Learning notes on the first edition of ‘Statistical Methods for Reliability Data’ written by Meeker & Escobar. Please notes that the notes is NOT a substitution of the book as the notes are highly summarized and organized with my own way. This book covers a broad range of classical models and methods that are frequently used in industry, and the illustrations are very clear to follow for engineers and statisticians. It’s a must have for those who are interested in reliability, applied statistics and/or the practical models that are useful for industry. See the authors’ website http://www.public.iastate.edu/~stat533/meeker_escobar.html for more details on the contents of the book.
