So what is up with this ‘Bayesian’ analysis stuff
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Some of you may have heard of ‘Bayesian analysis.’ You may think this is something fancy that only universities do. Or something we never do because it is all about ‘best guesses.’ Well … neither of these things are true.
Why would you be interested in Bayesian analysis? Simple. It allows you to use EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION you have. This can be expert judgment. Or it can be test data on a similar ‘thing.’ Or it could be combining test data for one part of your ‘thing’ combined with test data for ‘all of your thing.’
Still not excited? Those of you who have to pay for and do testing or data analysis might. Bayesian analysis may shave days, weeks, months or years of your test schedule. And a lot of money. Listen to this webinar to learn more.
This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 28 July 2020.

Collecting and Analyzing Your Field Data
Let’s explore where the data comes from and how to prepare for analysis. Plus, let’s discuss some ways to look at your data initially.

Time to Failure Data Analysis for Your Factory Equipment
For repairable items, the mean cumulative function and associated plots provide you with an estimate of the effectiveness of your repairs.

Reliability Data
We will discuss the pros and cons of various sources. Plus, let’s examine a few ways to use simulations or models.

Fundamentals of Weibull Analysis
The Weibull distribution is a versatile tool to analyze time to failure data. Like any tool, it could be wielded well or not so well.

Fundamentals of Field Data Analysis
The design is done, the assembly process is working, now we can focus on answering the question: is the product hitting reliability targets?

Weibull Probability Plotting
Data is only as useful as the information you derive. So would you like to take your Weibull probability plotting skills to the next level?

Overview of Life Testing in Minitab
Minitab itself has many reliability functions available; this presentation covers the basics, including distributions, censoring, and fitting.

The Survivorship Bias Principal
This webinar examines an important perspective. Its’ so simple and has made many heroes in the data analysis world since Abraham Ward.

Reliability Analysis … now what? Part 2
Let's take a closer look at the concept of likelihood and it's role in an MCMC analysis. A powerful tool for data analysis.

Reliability Analysis … now what? Part 3
This webinar is about how we use this thing called Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation (MCMC) to create this ‘posse.’

Reliability Analysis … now what? Part 4
We show you how to get your computer to help you give useful reliability information to your boss, manager, director, or whoever.

Fundamentals of Interpreting Test Results
To create test results that are meaningful, we need to both design and execute the test well, then, interpret the results accurately.

How to Take the Guess Work out of Expert Judgment
there are ways you can suck out information from a group of experts in a quantifiable and remarkably accurate way.

What do you see in a ‘Probability’ Plot?
A Weibull plot is a really useful way of quickly ‘looking’ at data and being able to ‘see’ really useful things.
