Electronic devices are integral part of our life and modeling their lifetime is the most challenging and interesting field in reliability analysis. To investigate the failure behavior of electronic devices reliability analysis is commonly used. In the literature, however, it is reported that one in five electronic device failure is a result of corrosion and to save electricity and predict future failures, it is important to summarize the data by some flexible probability models. This will not only help the electronic companies, but also the users by providing them information about the maximum voltage level that a particular device can bear. This article deals with the reliability analysis of electronic devices under different voltages assuming modified generalized exponential distribution and beta generalized exponential distribution using the inverse power law rule. The parameters of the modified distribution are estimated assuming Bayesian inference to include prior information. Sensitivity of hyperparameters and selection of an appropriate probability model is also a part of this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
