I need to solve the following problem for a school assignment.
Let λ(t) denote the failuer rate of a system at time 't'. The failure rate is simple the number of failures in unit time. For example, if the unit time is one day, then λ is the average of failures per day. Let μ(t) denote the total number of failures from the first release (time t=0) until the current time, 't'. Then we have
(1) λ= dμ/dt
(2) μ = ∫λ(T) where the limits of integration are T=0 (lower) and T=t (upper)
Two models are used for estimating λ and μ. In the forumlae below, λ0 is the failure rate at time t=0, and α and β are constants
λ=λ0(1-μ/α)
λ=λ0e^- β μ
Use (1) or (2) to find λ and μ as functions of time for each model.
...I just need some direction. Thanks!
