Abstract
A method is presented for constructing system reliability using
component failure data when the sample sizes for testing on the
component parts differ greatly. The procedure can be applied to
weapons systems as easily as subsystems. No assumptions about
failure distributions are made. The accuracy of the procedure was
examined by computer simulations and in this manner the procedure
has demonstrated high accuracy for cases of practical interest.
