Second Order Optimality of Sequential Designs with Application in Software Reliability Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose three efficient sequential designs in the software reliability estimation. The fully sequential design the multistage sequential design and the accelerated sequential design. These designs make allocation decisions dynamically throughout the testing process. We then refine these estimated reliabilities in an iterative manner as we sample. Monte Carlo simulation seems to indicate that these sequential designs are second order optimal.

Sequential Designs with Application in Software Engineering
Presented here is a Bayesian approach to test case allocation in the software reliability estimation. Bayesian analysis allows us to update our beliefs about the reliability of a particular partition as we test, and thus, dynamically refine our allocation of test cases during the reliability testing process. We started with a fully sequential sampling scheme to estimate the reliability of a sof...
متن کاملEstimation of Software Reliability by Sequential Testing with Simulated Annealing of Mean Field Approximation
Various problems of combinatorial optimization and permutation can be solved with neural network optimization. The problem of estimating the software reliability can be solved with the optimization of failed components to its minimum value. Various solutions of the problem of estimating the software reliability have been given. These solutions are exact and heuristic, but all the exact approach...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Finding D-e cient Equivalent-Estimation Second-Order Split-Plot Designs
Many industrial experiments involve restricted rather than complete randomization. This often leads to the use of split-plot designs, which limit the number of independent settings of some of the experimental factors. These factors, named whole-plot factors, are often, in some way, hard to change. The remaining factors, called sub-plot factors, are easier to change. Their levels are therefore i...
متن کاملALTopt: An R Package for Optimal Experimental Design of Accelerated Life Testing
The R package ALTopt has been developed with the aim of creating and evaluating optimal experimental designs of censored accelerated life tests (ALTs). This package takes the generalized linear model approach to ALT planning, because this approach can easily handle censoring plans and derive information matrices for evaluating designs. Three types of optimality criteria are considered: D-optima...
متن کاملSequential Optimality Conditions and Variational Inequalities
In recent years, sequential optimality conditions are frequently used for convergence of iterative methods to solve nonlinear constrained optimization problems. The sequential optimality conditions do not require any of the constraint qualications. In this paper, We present the necessary sequential complementary approximate Karush Kuhn Tucker (CAKKT) condition for a point to be a solution of a ...
