Overview

This book is intended for students and practitioners who have had a calculus-based statistics course and who have an interest in safety considerations such as reliability, strength, and duration-of-load or service life. Many persons studying statistical science will be employed professionally where the problems encountered are obscure, what should be analyzed is not clear, the appropriate assumptions are equivocal, and data are scant. In this book there is no disclosure with many of the data sets what type of investigation should be made or what assumptions are to be used.

Reviews

<p>From the reviews: <p> The book authored by one of the most distinguished scientists in the area of reliability theory . It is a highly recommendable state-of-the-art description of the field. Essentially the book is a collection of chapters summarizing the state of the art in reliability. The book is an excellent introduction into the reliability theory. I recommend this book strongly . (Goetz Uebe, Advances in Statistical Analysis, Vol. 91 (4), 2007)<p> This text is aimed at graduate scientists and engineers and intends to provide a theoretical underpinning to modelling reliability and the analysis of life data. the majority of the book concerns the mathematical development of the area that requires a background in probability and mathematical statistics including measures. (Peter Watts Jones, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1120 (22), 2007)<p> This book addresses theoretical, meaning mathematical and statistical, aspects of reliability and failure time analysis. The presentation is i
