The Probability Plot is a log-log graph with data overlay and confidence limits that displays the probability (expressed as a percentage) that a failure will occur over a certain time period (Cumulative Distribution Function Occurrence % vs. Time to Failure). Cumulative Distribution Function Occurrence % used here is numerically equal to the value from the cumulative distribution. Time to Failure used here refers to life data, not Calendar data.
Note: Interaction with graphs is not available on touch-screen devices.
The Probability Plot provides the same data as the CDF Plot, just represented in a log-log format. The log-log format reflects the standard technique for representing Weibull Distribution. Log-log format Data overlay gives a visual estimate of Goodness of Fit. Data overlay also gives clues to the presence of multiple failure modes. If a single or multiple inflection points exist in the data, then there is a possibility of multiple failure modes.
Note: If you selected to use a Confidence Level, confidence intervals are included in the analysis calculations and the upper and lower limits appear on the graph.
When you access a Probability Plot, GE Digital APM displays auto-censored datapoints that represent the life between the date of the failure and the end of the analysis.
