Mathematical models for systems reliability
1 online resource (253 pages) : illustrations
Covers the required probability background for understanding reliability theory. This book shows how certain techniques can be applied to a range of reliability problems. It explores statistical estimation theory, measures of system effectiveness, general continuous-time Markov chains, and more.
