Errors in the first printing of Meeker and Escobar (1998)

Page 30, line -1: Change 217 to 21.7  (RL)

Page 42, line -5: should read "these probabilities"

Page 60, line -2 "imultaneous" should read "simultaneous" (CA)

Page 64 line 15: d() should be d/(). (RL)

Page 66 line 5: (3.19) should be (3.16)  (RL)

Page 70 line -3: Figure 3.1 for Figure 3.4

Page 101, line -8: Change WEIB(\theta,\beta) to WEIB(\log(\theta),1/\beta)

Page 103, line -9: Change WEIB(\exp(\mu),1/\sigma) to WEIB(\mu,\sigma)

Page 159, line 2: Change Section 7.3 to Section 7.4.2 (JP)

Page 170, -17: change "simpler" to "similar"

Page 192 line -11: L(\mu) has the wrong font for L. (RL)

Page 195, bottom line: change "an approximate" to "a conservative"

Page 202 Exercise 8.21:  change "Section 8.5.1" to "Section 8.5.2" (KR)

Page 215, line 1: Change .07316 to .07317 in both expressions. (JP)

Page 226 and 227: change "is the bootstrap sample" to "are the
                 bootstrap sample estimates" (two occurrences) (RL)

Page 242, line 12: V_{\exp(\ghat)} = g^2 V_{\ghat} should read

		  V_{\exp(\ghat)} = \exp(2g) V_{\ghat}	   (HK)

Page 245, equation (10.9): Remove the \sigma^{2} from the
         denominators in all three terms inside the square brackets. (YH)

Page 251 line -6: "Escobar and Meeker (1997)" should be 
		  "Escobar and Meeker (1998d)"                 (HK)

Page 370, line -15: omit the word "independent." 


Page 378: In order to agree with Figure 15.8, the indexes i and j should be
          switched on the products of the first displayed equation:
          F_T(t)=1-\prod_{j=1}^{k}\right(1-\prod_{i=1}^{r}F_{ij}\left). (JP)

Page 379, equation (15.6): the index j in the
                   summations should run from  j=s-k+1 to j=s. (JP)

Page 379, last line (caption of Figure 15.10): Change "Figure 15.10.
                  A k-out-of-s system structure" 
                  to "Figure 15.10. A 2-out-of-3 system structure''

Page 380, line 3: the index j in the summations 
                  should run from  j=s-k+1 to j=s. (JP)

Page 450, Table 17.4: The MLE of \beta_{1} for Model 1 should read
          -.03 instead of -.02. Also, \beta_{3} for Model 2 should be -.000082
          instead of .000082. (JP)

Page 504 Example 19.10, line -5: there is an unnecessary ) after 18.4.2 (KR)

Page 509, Table 19.4: at 250 Degrees C, 7.87  should be 0.87   (KR)       

Page 511, line -5: "similiar to Figure 19.12" 
      should be "similiar to Figure 19.13". (ET)

Page 513, Figure 19.16: 45 cen should be 49 cen      (HK)

Page 514, line 1: Change Figure 19.6 to Figure 19.16.. (QJ)

Page 524, line 4: "when the actual relationship if really..." 
     should be "when the actual relationship is really..."  (ET)

Page 552 and 553: Change x_{1L} to x_{1U} and  x_{2L} to x_{2U} in
equations (20.3), (20.5), (20.6),  (20.7), and (20.8).    (CJ)

Page 553, third line above Table 20.5: change \xi_{1A}=0 to \xi_{2A}=0.  (CJ)

Page 574, line -4:  what we really did was "path on the linear-linear scale
	               (Figure 21.11)" (but this is not the
			best model to fit).
