Unit 6 Objectives• Describe applications for probability plots• Explain the basic concepts of probability plotting• Show how to linearize a cdf on special plotting scales• Explain how to plot a nonparametric estimate of the cdf
to judge the adequacy of a particular parametric distribution
• Explain methods of separating useful information from noise when interpreting a probability plot
• Use a probability plot to obtain graphical estimates of reliability characteristics like failure probabilities and quantiles

Purpose of Probability Plots
• Asses the adequacy of a particular distributional model• To detect multiple failure modes or mixtures of different
populations• Obtain graphical estimates of model parameters (e.g., by
fitting a straight line through the points on a probability plot)
• Displaying the results of a parametric likelihood fit along with the data
• Obtain, by drawing a smooth curve through the points, a nonparametric estimate of failure probabilities and distributional quantiles
Probability plots are used to:

Criteria for Choosing Plotting Positions
• Checking distributional assumptions• Estimation of parameters• Display of maximum likelihood results
with data.
Criteria for choosing plotting positions should depend on the application or purpose for constructing the probability plot
Some applications that suggest criteria:

Probability Plots with Specified Shape Parameters
• Distributions that are not members of the location-scale family
• To help identify, graphically, the need for non-zero threshold parameters
• Estimate graphically a shape parameter
The probability plotting techniques can be extended to construct probability plots for:

Notes on the Application of Probability Plotting
• Using simulation to help interpret probability plots– Try different assumed distributions and compare the
results– Assess linearity; allowing for more variability in the
tails• Use simultaneous nonparametric confidence bands• Use simulation or bootstrap to calibrate
• Possible reason for a bend in a probability plot– Sharp bend or change in slope generally indicates an
abrupt change in a failure process
