This course on Data Development describes the process used to develop quantitative values for events, other than human errors in fault trees, event trees, or other system models. the events included are: (1) initiating events, (2) unavailability due to hardware failure, (3) unavailability due to maintenance activity, and (4) unavailability due to test activities. The course material covers the most common reliability models for these events and explains how to evaluate them with uncertainties, determine their parameters, and obtain the raw data for this process. Both Bayesian and classical approaches to the data development process are presented. 24 figs., 24 tabs.
