Abstract: This dissertation proposes two main methods as a modification of the semi-parametric Proportional Hazard Model (PHM) with innovative application for reliability testing. The first method developed uses a median of lifetime survival history for subjects with multiple occurrences to be modeled using the non-recurrent PHM method. The second method developed proposes censoring of influential observations, applying recurrent PHM theory. Both methods are validated using small electromechanical appliances with covariates identifying typical user performance as part of accelerated reliability testing.
