Lindley Type Distributions and Software Reliability Assessment
Qi Xiao, Tadashi Dohi, Hiroyuki Okamura (Hiroshima Univ.) R2019-53
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Dennis Victor Lindley proposed an interesting one-parameter continuous probability distribition, which is called Lindley distribution, in the context of Fiducial and Bayesian statistics. Recently, the Lindley distribution has received considerable attentions and been applied to the life data analysis for several products in stead of the common exponential distribution. In this paper, we propose to use the Lindley distribution and its variations to represent the software fault-detection time distribution, and develop somewhat different non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP)-based software reliability models (SRMs). The resulting SRMs are compared with the existing NHPP-based SRMs with the well-known fault-detection time distributions which can be categorized into the exponential family and the extreme distributions.
Through numerical examples with the fault count data observed in actual software development projects, we show the usefulness of the Lindley type SRMs.
