Bootstrap Interval Estimation of Reliability via Coefficient Omega

Interval estimation for the normal correlation coefficient

Inference concerning the correlation coefficient of two random variables from the bivariate normal distribution has been investigated by many authors. In particular, Fisher [1915. Frequency distribution of the values of the correlation coefficient in samples from an indefinitely large population. Biometrika 10, 507–521] and Hotelling [1953. New light on the correlation coefficient and its trans...

Nonparametric Estimation of the Limiting Interval Reliability

In many practical situations, one may be interested in knowing the extent to which the system will survive an interval of duration after it has been run for a long time. In such situation, the limiting interval reliability may be used as an appropriate measure for system effectiveness. Also, since it is difficult to obtain closed form expressions for the interval reliability, except for few sim...

Sequential Interval Estimation of the Limiting Interval Reliability

In this chapter, we consider the sequential interval estimation of the limiting interval reliability of a repairable system when the sequences of failure and repair times are generated by a bivariate stationary dependent sequence. In Section 7.2, we discuss the estimation of the limiting interval reliability ( ) R x for a stationary strong mixing bivariate sequence of failure and repair times. ...

Interval Methods for Improved Robot Reliability Estimation

In this paper, we present and discuss a new interval-based method of reliability estimation using fault trees for the case of uncertain and time-varying input reliability data. The approach is based on the generation of output distributions (probability estimates with appropriate ranges of uncertainty) which preserve the effects of uncertainty in the input (component or subsystem-level) data.
