| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a procedure used to compute an estimate of the lower 100 (1- ƴ) % confidence limit for reliability of a 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- ƴ) % confidence limit on system reliability. | en_US |
