On Some Properties of a Class of Reliability Growth Planning Models

Abstract

This report addresses four properties of PM2-Continuous that were identified in a review as being counterintuitive. It will be shown that these properties are shared by reliability growth planning models that are based on a large class of B-mode rate of occurrence functions h(t) that were advocated by Professor Douglas Miller for reliability growth modeling. The report examines the model parameter trade-offs and their effects on the properties for scenarios considered in the review and for scenarios that are germane to conducting a reliability growth test.
