ABSTRACT
The accelerated degradation test (ADT) is an effective method for evaluating the lifetime of high-reliability products. In this paper, a doubly accelerated degradation model based on the inverse Gaussian process is proposed to characterize the ADT data, and then an objective Bayesian approach is presented to analyze the model. Some important noninformative priors including the Jeffreys prior and reference priors under different group orderings are derived. The propriety of the posterior distributions under each prior is validated. A simulation study is carried out to show the superiority of objective Bayesian approach compared with the parametric Bootstrap method. Finally, the approach is applied to analyze a carbon film data.
