Degradation<br />

Using the Degradation Platform<br />

Using the Degradation platform, you can analyze degradation data to predict pseudo failure times. These<br />

pseudo failure times can then be analyzed by other reliability platforms to estimate failure distributions.<br />

Both linear <strong>and</strong> non-linear degradation paths can be modeled. You can also perform stability analysis, which<br />

is useful when setting pharmaceutical product expiration dates.<br />
