“…In particular, the following estimates of c th , g , α th , g , and σ th , g were obtained: where denotes the parameter estimate. It is worth noting that the estimates and are in agreement with the values proposed in the literature for c th , g and for α th , g . As shown in Figure , the assumed linear model is in good agreement with the experimental data (11 failures of 12 are inside the 80% confidence interval).…”
