Imprecise reliability: An introductory overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main aim of this paper is to define what imprecise reliability is, and discuss a variety of problems that can be solved by means of a framework of imprecise probabilities. From this point of view, various branches of reliability analysis are considered, including analysis of monotone systems, repairable systems, multi-state systems, structural reliability, software reliability, human reliability, fault tree analysis. Various types of initial information used in imprecise reliability are considered. Some open problems are briefly discussed in the concluding section.

Imprecise Reliability
We present a concise overview of imprecise reliability, particularly focussing on reliability theory with uncertainty quantified via lower and upper probabilities. We discuss the main approaches and opportunities of the theory, we include references to guide further study, and we briefly discuss some research challenges.
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Interval and Imprecise Data - Applications in the Analysis of Reliability Field Data
The analysis of field lifetime data is much more complicated than the analysis of the results of reliability laboratory tests. In the paper we present an overview of the most important problems of the statistical analysis of field lifetime data, and present their solutions known from literature. When the input information is partial or imprecise, we propose to use interval arithmetics for the c...

متن کاملImprecise system reliability using the survival signature
The survival signature has been introduced to simplify quantification of reliability of systems which consist of components of different types, with multiple components of at least one of these types. The survival signature generalizes the system signature, which has attracted much interest in the theoretical reliability literature but has limited practical value as it can only be used for syst...
