Evaluation of the Accuracy of a Lower Confidence Limit Estimate for Series System Reliability.
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of a procedure used to compute an estimate of the lower 100(1-gamma)% confidence limit for reliability of system of independent components connected in logical series. The procedure takes a Bayesian approach and uses test data on the individual components where the sample sizes may be unequal and no knowledge of the component failure distribution is needed. A computer simulation is used to generate test failure data and to compute estimates for the lower 100(1-gamma)% confidence limit on system reliability. (Author)
