Modeling and Estimating System Availability.
Abstract
A variety of probability models for single and multiple unit, failure-prone but repairable, systems are reviewed. The purpose of the paper is to provide methods for expressing the uncertainties in system availability in terms of uncertainties in component parameters. A log-linear transformation and the 'jackknife' are shown to be effective. (Author)
