Abstract

This paper is focused on a new vision of the elicitation and the aggregation of prior distributions for the parameters of a Weibull model, when several experts can give their opinions. In many industrial durability/reliability contexts, there are only few censored lifetime data, and the Weibull model is the most popular lifetime model. So such a Bayesian integration is a important issue. Other relevant papers are summarized too.
