Can anybody suggest some introductory material to
"chi squared reliability" calculations?
I've got a paper my boss has asked me to review. It is
about the reliability of a component. The component gets
tested on a particular schedule, and has never shown a
failure in 5 years of testing.
So the question to be asked is: Does this level of testing
meet the requirement that failures happen less than <spec>.
And the paper's author has just written down a formula
for the reliability estimate based on the existing data.
This formula talked about "degrees of freedom" and I
don't really get what those are in this context.
