Traditional reliability analysis has been using time to event data, degradation data, and recurrent event data, while the associated covariates tend to be simple and constant over time. Over the past years, we have witnessed the rapid development of sensor and wireless technology, which enables us to track how the product has been used and under which environmental conditions it has been used. Nowadays, we are able to collect richer information on covariates which provides opportunities for better reliability predictions. In this chapter, we first review recent development on statistical methods for reliability analysis. We then focus on introducing several specific methods that were developed for different types of reliability data with covariate information. Illustrations of those methods are also provided using examples from industry. Test planning is also an important part of reliability analysis. In addition to data analysis, we also provide a briefly review on recent developments of test planning and then focus on illustrating the sequential Bayesian design with an example of fatigue testing for polymer composites. The paper is concluded with some discussions and remarks.
