Читать книгу Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices - Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan - Страница 19

It is important to point out that one‐shot device testing data arise from diverse fields beyond reliability engineering, such as in mice tumor studies from tumorigenicity experiments; see Kodell and Nelson (1980). In such a study, each mouse received a particular dosage of benzidine dihydrochloride in its drinking water and was later sacrificed to detect whether some tumors had developed by then or not. Tumor presence can be detected only at the time of mouse's sacrifice or natural death. These data are summarized in Table 1.5. The data collected in this form were then used to measure the impact of the chemical dosage on the risk of tumor development.
