Lower System Reliability Bounds from Binary Failure Data Using Bootstrapping

Pages 2-13 | Published online: 05 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

Binary failure data are collected for each of the independent components in a coherent system. Bootstrapping is used to determine a (1 – α)100% lower confidence bound on the system reliability. When a component with perfect test results is encountered, a beta prior distribution is used to avoid an overly optimistic lower bound.
