Bayesian parameter estimation with prior weighting in ALT model

This paper provides an overview of the application of Bayesian inference to accelerated life testing (ALT) models for the concrete case of estimation by Maximum of Aposteriori (MAP) method in the case of constant stress levels. It studies the Bayesian inference over the accelerated life model as presented in [1]. It suites, integrates and generalizes the particular cases presented in [2] and [3]. Towards the end, weighting of the prior information according to data is integrated. The paper also illustrates an experimental example.
