6. In a study undertaken to model the reliability of car engines by the
motor industry, the time to failure of these engines was modeled by the
density function
4
f(t) = 1½te-1/r
(a) Show that this density function is a member of the exponential
family of distributions. Determine the natural parameter and the
canonical link function, and find the variance function, V(µ).
(b) A GLM with an inverse link function was fitted with a linear pre-
dictor n = ai +ẞxsize, where a is the parameter for the ith car
manufacturer and ẞ is the parameter for the engine size, size. The
ML estimators of these parameters were calculated
â₁ = -0.0712, 2 = -0.0565, 3 = -0.0678 and ẞ = −0.0207,
where there existed only three car manufacturers, i = 1,2,3. Using
this model, find the estimated mean survival time for a car pro-
duced by manufacturer 3 with a 2.5 liter engine? Express the ratio
of mean survival times for cars produced by manufacturers 1 and
2 as a function of the engine size, Isize.
