Abstract:

Bayesian Methods for Estimating the Reliability of Complex Systems Using Heterogeneous Multilevel Information

We propose a Bayesian approach for assessing the reliability of multi- component systems. Our models allow us to evaluate system, subsystem, and component reliability using the available multilevel information. Data are collected over time, and include pass/fail, lifetime, censored, and degradation data. We illustrate the methodology through an example and discuss how to extend the approach to more complex systems.
