Abstract
The article presents a Bayesian analysis for the environmental stress screening problem. The decision problem of deriving optimal stress scr een durations is solved. Given a screen duration, the optimal stress l evel can also be determined. Indicators of the quality of a screen of any duration are derived. A statistical model is presented which allow s a posterior density for the rate of early failures of the production process to be calculated. This enables the user to update his opinion about the quality of the process. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
