402 <strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>and</strong> Survival Analysis II Chapter 20<br />

Nonlinear Parametric Survival Models<br />

Figure 20.25 Nonlinear Fit Results<br />

To use the Weibull loss function with two parameters or the extreme value loss function, again select<br />

Nonlinear <strong>and</strong> choose the loss function you want. Use starting values of 1 for the alpha <strong>and</strong> beta parameters<br />

in the Weibull function <strong>and</strong> for delta <strong>and</strong> lambda in the extreme-value function. The results are shown<br />

above.<br />

Note: Be sure to check the Loss is Neg LogLikelihood check box before you click Go.<br />

Lognormal Loss Function Example<br />

The Locomotive.jmp data in the <strong>Reliability</strong> sample data folder can be used to illustrate a lognormal loss.<br />

The lognormal distribution is useful when the range of the data is several powers of 10. The logNormal<br />

column in the table has the formula:
