APPROXIMATE CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE RELIABILITY OF SERIES AND PARALLEL SYSTEMS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4137634
A method for combining data on individual component reliability to determine approximate confidence limits for the reliability of complete mechanisms is presented. It is assumed that the failures are independent and that failures of a given component follow a binomial distribution with unknown parameter (the component reliability). The largesample properties of the likelinood-ratio test are then used to construct the appropriate confidence limits for the system reliability. (auth)
