This outline is provisional and subject to change.
This instructor-based course is for anyone who needs to analyze data about how long an object (reliability) or person (survival) operates within acceptable parameters. The course is presented using manufacturing examples, but those interested in survival analysis will also find the course useful.
Learn how to
- fit distribution models specific to reliability and survival data
- compute Kaplan-Meier product-limit survival and risk (hazard)
- compare reliability or survival across groups
- estimate survival in the presence of competing causes
- use parametric survival models to estimate effects of covariates or experimental factors
- use proportional hazard models to estimate effects of covariates or experimental factors
Who should attend
Engineers, scientists, and analysts who perform reliability or survival studies

Course Materials
Classroom: Students attend classroom courses in one of our public training centers. You receive
a hardcopy of the course notes and, in some courses, can choose to take home a copy of the course data.
Live Web: Students attend Live Web classes using a Web browser and a telephone and interact with their instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Each student receives an e-mail with instructions on how to join the class three business days before the class begins. The instructions e-mail includes a link to download the course materials. Students need to download and print the course materials prior to class.

System Requirements
For Live Web, you must
- review and follow the general system requirements.
- complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
- run this
test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will need the following software installed and configured in your environment to participate in the course exercises:
- JMP Version 7, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel (Setup Instructions)
Tip: To ensure that your ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel is installed and set up properly:- Open JMP.
- From the JMP Starter window, click Open Data Table.
- Select the Files of type drop down list.
- Scroll through the file types until you see Excel Files (.xls).
If Excel Files (.xls) is included in this list, then your machine is set up to use the ODBC driver for Excel.
If Excel Files (.xls) is not listed, contact your system administrator for support.
