This paper gives main characteristics of the failure-rate-based bathtub curve, defines two change points of the bathtub curve and develops nonparametric and parametric methods to estimate the change points. Simple relations for estimating the interval failure rate in the infant mortality and random failure phases are derived. The proposed methods are useful for model selection and can be used to evaluate the appropriateness of any bathtub curve model. These are illustrated through a real-world example.
