AbstractThe Weibull process plays an important role in the failure analysis of repairable systems. In practice, there exists a situation that the data collected are incomplete. Some of the failure data are missing due to various reasons. Statistical inferences of a Weibull process with incomplete data using Monte Carlo expectation maximization algorithm is proposed. The estimation procedures are derived. A case study is performed to illustrate and compare the performances of this algorithm. It is observed that this method is effective and can simplify the estimation.

| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
