INTERVAL ESTIMATION OF RELIABILITY OF ONE-OFF SPACECRAFT

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. T...

Bootstrap Interval Estimation of Reliability via Coefficient Omega

Confidence interval estimation of NHPP-based software reliability models

The software reliability growth models (such as NHPP models) are frequently used in software reliability prediction. Estimation of parameters in these models is often done by point estimation. However, some numerical problems arise and make the actual computation hard, especially for automated reliability prediction tools. Here confidence interval computation in Goel-Okumoto model and S-shaped ...
