| Summary |
This volume is a collection of articles on reliability systems and Bayesian reliability analysis. Written by reputable researchers, the articles are self-contained and are linked with literature reviews and new research ideas. The book is dedicated to Emeritus Professor Richard E Barlow, who is well known for his pioneering research on reliability theory and Bayesian reliability analysis. Contents: System Reliability Analysis: On Regular Reliability Models (J-C Chang et al.); Bounding System Reliability (J N Hagstrom & S M Ross); Large Excesses for Finite-State Markov Chains (D Blackwell); Age. |
