Proposed statistical method accounting for the uncertainty associated with the fatigue response of AM specimens: (a) procedure for shifting the experimental failures to the \({N}_{ref}\); (b) Profile Likelihood functions for the fatigue strengths shifted at \({N}_{ref}\); (c) random fatigue strength extraction by considering the estimated Profile Likelihood functions; (d) example of the empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf) describing the fatigue strength distribution at \({N}_{ref}.\)
