Launch the Destructive Degradation Platform

Launch the Destructive Degradation platform by selecting Analyze > Reliability and Survival > Destructive Degradation. Destructive Degradation Launch Window shows the Destructive Degradation launch window using the Adhesive Bond.jmp data table (located in the Reliability folder).

Description of Destructive Degradation Launch Window
Role	Description
Y, Response	Enter the column containing the degradation measurements. When your response values are interval-censored, you can enter two columns. See Specify Two Y Columns.
Time	Enter the column containing the time values.
X	Enter an optional explanatory variable. If the distribution of Y changes not only over time, but is also impacted by some other variable, that additional variable can be supplied as X. Use this role to specify the accelerating factor in an accelerated destructive degradation model.
Freq	Enter an optional column giving a frequency for each row.
Censor	Enter an optional column that identifies censored response measurements. When there is only one column in the Y role, this column indicates whether the response Y in a given row is exact or right censored. A right-censored observation is one where the exact measurement is unknown, but is known to be larger than the Y value in the corresponding row. Select the value that identifies right-censored observations from the Censor Code menu. Rows corresponding to other values in the Censor column are treated as uncensored. Rows with missing censor code values are excluded from the analysis. JMP attempts to detect the censor code and display it in the list.
By	Enter an optional By variable. A separate analysis is produced for each level of this variable.
Censor Code	Select the value in the Censor column that designates right censoring. By default, the value is 1.
