Abstract
For many products (for example, automobiles), failures depend on age and usage and, in this case, failures are random points in a two-dimensional plane with the two axes representing age and usage. In contrast to the one-dimensional case (where failures are random points along the time axis) the modeling of two-dimensional failures has received very little attention. In this chapter we discuss various issues (such as modeling process, parameter estimation, model analysis) for the two-dimensional case and compare it with the one-dimensional case.
