Accelerated Testing Summary

Accelerated Testing: Statistical Models, Test Plans, and Data Analysis by Wayne B. Nelson (California Institute of Technology (Caltech) University of Illinois)

The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.

. . . a goldmine of knowledge on accelerated life testing principles and practices . . . one of the very few capable of advancing the science of reliability. It definitely belongs in every bookshelf on engineering.
-Dev G. Raheja, Quality and Reliability Engineering International

. . . an impressive book. The width and number of topics covered, the practical data sets included, the obvious knowledge and understanding of the author and the extent of published materials reviewed combine to ensure that this will be a book used frequently.
-Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

A benchmark text in the field, Accelerated Testing: Statistical Models, Test Plans, and Data Analysis offers engineers, scientists, and statisticians a reliable resource on the effective use of accelerated life testing to measure and improve product reliability. From simple data plots to advanced computer programs, the text features a wealth of practical applications and a clear, readable style that makes even complicated physical and statistical concepts uniquely accessible. A detailed index adds to its value as a reference source.

Accelerated Testing Reviews

...an essential resource for an statistician involved in product development and testing...available in an attractive and reasonably priced format. (Technometrics, August 2005)

Researchers in insulation and engineers in general...will find this an outstanding reference book that will be used constantly. (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June 2005)
