Abstract: In this paper we describe statistical methods for estimating the parameters of damage processes if in one realization both process increments and a failure time are observable. The likelihood function for such observations is developed and point estimates are compared with those for other models.
Keywords: Process observation at discrete time points, likelihood function, parameter estimation, damage processes
