Understanding (how bad) the Exponential Distribution (is)

Understanding (how bad) the Exponential Distribution (is)

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson



We often use probability distributions to help us characterize the likely values a random variable will have. This includes the random variable we call time to failure' or TTF, which is how long something works before it fails. Failure is a random process, but just because it is random, doesn't mean it's unpredictable. Products that wear-in will have vastly different probability distributions for TTF when compare do products that wear-out. So you need to have a good idea of the probability distribution of the TTF of your product when it comes to reliability engineering. But we often see in textbooks and standards the exponential distribution' simply being assumed as a good' TTF probability distribution. But is it? And what happens when it isn't but you use it anyway? Join this webinar to find out!
