The graphical test is developed by means of scale and space inference about the Total-Time-on-Test transform and its first and second derivatives. The graphic tool TTT-SiZer is defined considering nonparametric local polynomial kernel estimators and constructing the corresponding (simultaneous as well as punctual) confidence intervals around three different curves. The finite sample properties of the method are evaluated by a simulation study and the comparison with other non-graphical tests shows that the graphical test helps localize discrepancies of empirical data concerning a given hypothesized aging property, thus allowing to solve the problem locally.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness RTI2018-099723-B-I00}, organization = {University of Granada}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Total-time-on-test transform}, keywords = {Kernel smoothing}, keywords = {Order statistic}, title = {TTT-SiZer: A graphic tool for aging trends recognition}, doi = {10.1016/j.ress.2020.107010}, author = {Gámiz Pérez, María Luz and Nozal Cañadas, Rafael Adolfo and Raya Miranda, Rocío}, }
