errors <strong>and</strong> confidence intervals consider the change point to be known. The plot <strong>and</strong> the Estimates report<br />

are described in the section “Piecewise Weibull NHPP” on page 336.<br />

Available options are: Show MTBF Plot, Show Intensity Plot, Show Cumulative Events Plot, Show<br />

Profilers. These options are also described in the section “Piecewise Weibull NHPP” on page 336.<br />

The procedure used in estimating the change point is described in “Statistical Details for the Piecewise<br />

Weibull NHPP Change Point Detection Report” on page 348.<br />

Additional Examples of the <strong>Reliability</strong> Growth Platform<br />

This section contains two additional examples of the use of the <strong>Reliability</strong> Growth platform. The first<br />

illustrates interval-censored data while the second illustrates the Dates Format for uncensored data.<br />

Piecewise NHPP Weibull Model Fitting with Interval-Censored Data<br />

The sample data file TurbineEngineDesign2.jmp, found in the <strong>Reliability</strong> subfolder, contains data on<br />

failures for a turbine engine design over three phases of a testing program. The first two columns give time<br />

intervals during which failures occurred. These intervals are recorded as days since the start of testing. The<br />

exact failure times are not known; it is only known that failures occurred within these intervals.<br />

The reports of failures are provided generally at weekly intervals. Intervals during which there were no<br />

failures <strong>and</strong> which fell strictly within a phase are not included in the data table (for example, the interval 106
