Misspecification analysis of gamma- and inverse Gaussian-based perturbed degradation processes

Résumé

Albeit not equivalent, in many applications the gamma and the inverse Gaussian processes are treated as if they were. This circumstance makes the misspecification problem of these models interesting and important, especially when data are affected by measurement errors, since noisy/perturbed data do not allow to verify whether the selected model is actually able to adequately fit the real (hidden) degradation process. Motivated by the above considerations, in this paper we conduct a large Monte Carlo study to evaluate whether and how the presence of measurement errors affects this misspecification issue. The study is performed considering as reference models a perturbed gamma process recently proposed in the literature and a new perturbed inverse Gaussian process that share the same non‐Gaussian distributed error term. As an alternative option, we also analyze the more classical case where the error term is Gaussian distributed. We consider both the situation where the true model is the perturbed gamma and the one where it is the perturbed inverse Gaussian. Model parameters are estimated from perturbed data using the maximum likelihood method. Estimates are retrieved by using a new sequential Monte Carlo EM algorithm, which use allows to hugely mitigate the severe numerical issues posed by the direct maximization of the likelihood. The risk of incurring in a misspecification is evaluated as percentage of times the Akaike information criterion leads to select the wrong model. The severity of a misspecification is evaluated in terms of its impact on maximum likelihood estimate of the mean remaining useful life.
