Abstract
This paper presents an accuracy analysis of a suggested approximate
confidence interval for system maintainability parameters.
Technically, the simulation demonstrates feasible ranges of" parameter
applicability for a fit of linear combinations of generated gamma variates
to the gamma distribution, using the method of moments.
The simulation has application to the classical confidence- interval
for mean time to repair of a series system, under the assumptions of
gamma distributed repair times, and method of moments estimators.
The paper provides no validated conclusions although it does display
parameters and ranges of apparent extremely high model validity.
