5 5 / 47 Degradation State of the art Wiener process Independent and normally distributed increment Well studied (Doksum and Hoyland 1992; Doksum and Normand 1995; Padgett and Tomlinson 2004; Wang 2010; Peng and Tseng 2009) Not monotone degradation path Gamma process Independent and Gamma distributed increment Monotone degradation path Limited choice of random effects model (Lawless and Crowder 2004)

6 Definition Inverse Gaussian process 1 Definition The IG process {Y (t), t 0} is defined as the stochastic process satisfying: Y (t) has independent increments, i.e., Y (t 2 ) Y (t 1 ) and Y (s 2 ) Y (s 1 ) are independent t 2 > t 1 s 2 > s 1 ; Y (t) Y (s) follows an IG distribution IG ( Λ(t) Λ(s), λ[λ(t) Λ(s)] 2), t > s 0, where Λ(t) is a monotone increasing function and IG(a, b), a, b > 0, denotes the IG distribution. 1 Ye, Z. S., and Chen, N. Technometrics, accepted. 6 / 47

7 7 / 47 Definition First passage time Monotone increasing sample path P(T D < t) = P(Y (t) > D) = 1 F IG ( D; Λ(t), λ Λ 2 (t) ) The CDF of the first passage time is [ ] [ ] λ λ P(T D < t) = Φ (Λ(t) D) e 2λΛ(t) Φ (Λ(t) + D) D D The density of the first passage time is f TD (t) = Λ (t) + { [ ] [ ] λ λ(λ(t) D) λ(λ(t) + D) D φ 2λe 2λΛ(t) Φ D D [ λ D e2λλ(t) φ ]} λ(λ(t) + D), D

8 8 / 47 Definition Birnbaum-Saunders distribution When λ Λ(t) is large, Y (t) is approximately normal with mean Λ(t) and variance Λ(t)/λ. the CDF of T D can be approximated as [ ] [ D Λ(t) λ D ] λ P(T D < t) 1 Φ = Φ Λ(t) Λ(t)/λ Λ(t) A Birnbaum-Saunders type distribution (Tang and Chang 1995), which is used to model the fatigue failure times caused by crack growth passing a critical value (Desmond 1985)

9 Limiting compound Poisson process Compound Poisson process Many degradation phenomena can be considered as accumulations of additive and irreversible damage caused by a sequence of external random (Esary and Marshall 1973; Desmond 1985; Singpurwalla 1995; van Noortwijk 2009) The shocks arrival process may be approximated by a Poisson process (Singpurwalla and Wilson 1998; Lawless and Crowder 2010) each shock causes a small and random amount of damage to the system 9 / 47

10 10 / 47 Limiting compound Poisson process Compound Poisson process

11 Limiting compound Poisson process Limiting process The discrete process is difficult to analyze 1 F(t) = k=0 P k exp( λt)(λt) k k! where P k is the probability surviving the first k shocks, involves k th convolution. Limiting approximation is useful Gamma process: when λ and jump size decreases to zero in certain proportion (Lawless and Crowder 2004) 11 / 47

12 Limiting compound Poisson process Limiting compound Poisson process Theorem Consider the compound Poisson process {C n (t), t > 0} with arrival rate ν n and jump size distribution G n (dx) = Π n (dx)/ν n, where ( λ ν n = 2πx exp λx ) dx 2µ 2 Π n (dx) = 1/n ( λ 2πx exp λx ) I 2µ 2 [1/n, ) (x)dx. When n, {C n (t), t > 0} converges to the stationary IG process {Y (t), t 0} with marginal distribution Y (t) IG(µt, λt 2 ). 12 / 47

13 13 / 47 Connection with Wiener process Inverse Gaussian distribution For a Wiener process with linear drift, W (t) = βt + σb(t) At time t, the location follows Gaussian distribution W (t) N(βt, σ 2 t) Conversely, the first time the process reaches location x follows inverse Gaussian distribution ( x T (x) IG β, x ) 2 σ 2

14 Connection with Wiener process Inverse variate of the Wiener process Considering a monotone increasing threshold function Λ(x), the first passage time process crossing Λ(x) becomes the IG process indexed by x. Λ(x j ) Λ(x i ) IG(Λ(x)/β, Λ(x) 2 /σ 2 ) 14 / 47

15 15 / 47 Connection with Wiener process Knowledge transfer Because of this close relationship, many models developed for Wiener process can be modified for IG process. Wiener process with random drift (Crowder and Lawless 2007; Peng and Tseng 2009) Wiener process with time transformation

16 16 / 47 Heterogeneity Units may experience different rate of degradation dues to Random effects factors Internal defects Unobservable or unaccountable random factors Covariates Usage difference Environmental conditions, like temperature, humidity

17 17 / 47 Covariate models Examples Heterogeneous degradation rate

18 Covariate models Covariate models Covariate may influence the rate, volatility, time scale, etc, which motivates following covariate models Y (t) IG(µΛ(t), λλ 2 (t)) Rate heterogeneity µ i = h(s i ); Volatility heterogeneity λ i = h(s i ) Rate and volatility heterogeneity µ i = h(s i ), λ = g(s i ) Time scale transformation Λ(t; s i ) Λ(h(s i ) t) 18 / 47

19 Covariate models Covariate models Some commonly used link functions include: Power law function: h(s) = ξ 0 s α ; Arrhenius function: h(s) = ξ 0 e α/s ; Inverse-logit function: h(s) = ξ 0 + αe s /(1 + e s ); Exponential function: h(s) = ξ 0 e αs, 19 / 47

20 Covariate models Parameter estimation Using maximum likelihood estimation: l(θ) = ln λ 2 N n i + i=1 n N i [ln Λ ij λ(y ] ij/h(s i ) Λ ij ) 2 2y ij i=1 j=1 i is the unit index n i : number of observations from unit i y ij : degradation increment from t i,j 1 to t ij Λ ij : increment of the shape function Λ(t) 20 / 47

21 Random effects models Random effects models From the basic degradation model Y (t) IG(µΛ(t), λλ 2 (t)) consider some of the parameters as random variables µ is random means the hidden effects cause different degradation rate In theory, the distribution of the random effects could be quite arbitrary Limited choice if we want faster computation and estimation 21 / 47

22 22 / 47 Random effects models Random drift model The drift parameter µ is random. Remember the Wiener process with random drift: W (t) = βt + σb(t), β N(ω, κ 2 ) The induced IG process is IG(Λ(x)/β, Λ(x) 2 /σ 2 ) Here β can still be normally distributed. Using the previous notation, and only keeping the positive parts µ 1 T N (ω, κ 2 )

23 Random effects models Random drift model Given the initial distribution parameter ω, κ 2, and the degradation data of unit i, Y i = [y i1, y i2,, y i,ni ], the conditional distribution of µ i is [µ 1 i Y i ] T N ( ω i, κ 2 i ), where κ i = λy i (t i,ni ) + κ 2 and ω i = (λλ(t i,ni ) + ωκ 2 )/ κ 2 i. Easy computation and updating Preserve the Markov property Conjugate distribution, the same form for future prediction 23 / 47

24 24 / 47 Random effects models Marginal distribution of random drift model Since the random effects are not observable, we often integrate them out to obtain the marginal distribution of Y i f IG (Y i ) = 1 Φ( κ i ω i ) 1 Φ( κω) κ n i λλ2 ij exp κ2 i ω i 2 κ 2 ω 2 n i Λ 2 ij λ κ i 2 j=1 2πy 3 ij 2y ij j=1 Can be used for parameter estimation and degradation prediction Can be simplified if µ 1 N(ω, κ 2 ) instead of µ 1 T N (ω, κ 2 ), or when ωκ is large

25 25 / 47 Random effects models Estimation using EM Consider µ = [µ 1, µ 2,, µ N ] as the unobserved data E-Step u i E( 1 Y, Θ (k) φ( ω i κ i ) ) = ω i + µ i [1 Φ( ω i κ i )] κ i v i E( 1 µ 2 Y, Θ (k) ) = ω i ω i i M-Step Θ (k+1) = arg max Θ n N i i=1 j=1 [ N + i=1 φ( ω i κ i ) [1 Φ( ω i κ i )] κ i + [ 1 κ ] i ω i φ( κ i ω i ) 1 1 Φ( κ i ω i ) κ 2, i [ ln λ 2 λ ] 2 (v i y ij 2u i Λ ij + Λ 2 ij /y ij ) + ln Λ ij ) ln κ ln(1 Φ( ωκ)) κ2 2 (v i 2u i ω + ω 2 ) ],

26 26 / 47 Random effects models Random volatility model When the hidden effects does not change the degradation rate, but change the volatility (variance) of the increment Conditional distribution λ Γ(γ, δ) [λ i Y i ] Γ( γ i, δ i ) where γ i = γ + n i j=1 (y ij µλ ij ) 2 /(2µ 2 y ij ) and δ i = n i /2 + δ. Marginal distribution f IG (Y i ) = Γ( δ i ) Γ(δ) γ δ γ δ i i n i j=1 Λ 2 ij 2πy 3 ij

27 27 / 47 Random effects models Random drift-volatility model Sometimes higher drift couples with larger variation Y (t) IG(µΛ(t), λµ 2 Λ 2 (t)) and µ T N (ω, κ 2 ) Conditional distribution g(µ i Y i ) = 1 n i λ(y ij θ i Λ ij ) C µn i exp 2 κ2 (θ i ω) 2 I [0, ) (θ i ) 2y ij 2 j=1 Not in a conjugate form The moment E(µ k i Y i), k 1 can be computed efficiently

29 29 / 47 Model selection and testing Goodness of fit tests How do we know if the IG process (or its variants) fit the data well? If X IG(a, b), then b(x a) 2 /(a 2 X) χ 2 1. We can use the transformed degradation increment for GOF test In simple models, we have ζ ij ˆλ(y ij ˆΛ ij ) 2 y ij approx χ 2 1

30 30 / 47 Model selection and testing Increment based GOF When the random effects are present, use the conditional mean of the random effect parameter in the test statistic ˆζ ij = ˆλ(ˆµ 1 i y ij ˆΛ ij ) 2 y ij approx χ 2 1 where ˆµ 1 i = E(µ 1 i ˆθ, Y i ). Tests for other random effects variants or covariate models can be similarly developed
