Modified Information Criterion for Testing Changes in the Inverse Gaussian Degradation Process

The Inverse Gaussian process is a useful stochastic process to model the monotonous degradation process of a certain component. Owing to the phenomenon that the degradation processes often exhibit multi-stage characteristics because of the internal degradation mechanisms and external environmental f...

description The Inverse Gaussian process is a useful stochastic process to model the monotonous degradation process of a certain component. Owing to the phenomenon that the degradation processes often exhibit multi-stage characteristics because of the internal degradation mechanisms and external environmental factors, a change-point Inverse Gaussian process is studied in this paper. A modified information criterion method is applied to illustrate the existence and estimate of the change point. A reliability function is derived based on the proposed method. The simulations are conducted to show the performance of the proposed method. As a result, the procedure outperforms the existing procedure with regard to test power and consistency. Finally, the procedure is applied to hydraulic piston pump data to demonstrate its practical application.
