9780817640491: Advances in Stochastic Models for Reliablity, Quality and Safety (Statistics for Industry and Technology)

Synopsis

Fast technological development produces systems of ever-increasing complex­ ity. The demand for reliable functioning of these systems has become more and more important. Thus, there is a need for highly reliable technical devices and systems, for monitoring and controlling their functioning and for planning maintenance and corrective actions to fulfill given requirements considering eco­ nomic limitations. These tasks reflect the wide field of engineering activities that are accompa­ nied by and based on a wide range of stochastical models. The book presents the main contributions to a workshop on Stochastic Models of Reliability, Qual­ ity, and Safety held in Schierke near Magdeburg, Germany. This workshop was part of a series of meetings that take place every two years organized by the Society of Reliability, Quality and Safety. The basic idea of these workshops is to bring together theorists, applied statisticians, and practitioners to exchange experiences and ideas of common interest. The book contains recent results in reliability and related fields. The presentation aims at making at least a part of the results accessible to engineers.

Synopsis

Provides current results in mathematical theory of reliability. The text contains results in lifetime analysis including a description of damage by stochastic processes, calculation of the resulting lifetime distribution, and analysis of technical systems and process control. Also included are results in lifetime analysis: parameter estimation form an observation of a failure-repair process with incomplete repair, change point detection; and effective estimation of parameters of the parameter Weibull distribution. Several results in analysis of large systems and networks including effective algorithm and questions of censoring new methods in process control are presented in the text.
