Description
Springer Stochastic Ageing And Dependence For Reliability by Chin Diew Lai , Min Xie , Foreword by R.E. Barlow
This book provides a panoramic view of theory and applications of Ageing and Dependence in the use of mathematical methods in reliability and survival analysis. Ageing and dependence are important characteristics in reliability and survival analysis. They affect decisions with regard to maintenance, repair/replacement, price setting, warranties, medical studies, and other areas. Most of the works containing the topics covered here are theoretical in nature. However, this book offers applications, exercises, and examples. It serves as a reference for professors and researchers involved in reliability and survival analysis._x000D_ _x000D_Concepts and Applications of Stochastic Ageing.- Bathtub Shaped Failure Rate Life Distributions.- Mean Residual Life - Concepts and Applications in Reliability Analysis.- Weibull Related Distributions.- An Introduction to Discrete Failure Time Models.- Tests of Stochastic Ageing.- Bivariate and Multivariate Ageing.- Concepts and Measures of Dependence in Reliability.- Reliability of Systems with Dependent Components.- Failure Time Data._x000D_
