On the statistical inference of the accelerated life tests for some hydroxylated fullerenes

Abstract

Accelerated life tests are usually applied to obtain quick failures of components that may have high reliability. In this research, a comparative statistical study will be conducted between two hydroxylated fullerenes, C60(OH)29 and Sc3N@C80(OH)18, to determine which one is more preferable and has the potential to be more applicable in the field of industrial engineering. Some experimental studies showed that Sc3N@C80(OH)18 is better than C60(OH)29 in terms of physical and chemical properties. This statistical study confirms the experimental results through some statistical inference methods, such as Bayesian estimation.
