Reliability analysis and survival analysis both deal with the time-to-event data, which is often censored and highly skewed. Medical researchers try to predict the survival probabilities, survival times and other important characteristics. Therefore, it is not surprising to see many of the reliability analysis tools being used in clinical trials and epidemic research. After all, survival is the complementary event to failure. In this talk I will focus on the parallels and distinctions between the two statistical methods through some real-life examples. I will also demonstrate modern predictive modeling tools that are useful to reliability engineers.
