Testing significance of random effects for the gamma degradation model
Gamma degradation models with fixed or random effects are widely used for reliability analysis. In this paper, the problem of testing significance of random effects for the gamma degradation model is considered. We propose two statistical tests which enable to reveal the existence of random effects in degradation data corresponding to the gamma degradation model. The first test is the well known likelihood ratio test and the second one is based on the variance estimate of the random parameter of the "random-effect" gamma degradation model. These tests have been compared in terms of power with Monte-Carlo simulation method. Moreover, the example of GaAs lasers degradation analysis has been considered.
