Practical Approaches to Reliability Theory in Cutting-Edge Applications
Probabilistic Reliability Models helps readers understand and properly use statistical methods
and optimal resource allocation to solve engineering problems.
The author supplies engineers with a deeper understanding of mathematical models while also
equipping mathematically oriented readers with a fundamental knowledge of the engineeringrelated
applications at the center of model building. The book showcases the use of probability
theory and mathematical statistics to solve common, real-world reliability problems. Following
an introduction to the topic, subsequent chapters explore key systems and models including:
• Unrecoverable objects and recoverable systems
• Methods of direct enumeration
• Markov models and heuristic models
• Performance effectiveness
• Time redundancy
• System survivability
• Aging units and their related systems
• Multistate systems
Detailed case studies illustrate the relevance of the discussed methods to real-world technical
projects including software failure avalanches, gas pipelines with underground storage, and
intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) control systems. Numerical examples and detailed
explanations accompany each topic, and exercises throughout allow readers to test their
comprehension of the presented material.
Probabilistic Reliability Models is an excellent book for statistics, engineering, and operations
research courses on applied probability at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. The
book is also a valuable reference for professionals and researchers working in industry who
would like a mathematical review of reliability models and the relevant applications.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
