  • Abstract
    The technique of maximum likelihood analysis can solve previously unresolved problems which arise in step stress measurements where the failure levels for each device can only be bounded between two often widely separated limits. The proposed analysis would be necessary in correctly computing means, standard deviations and safe survival limits.
