{"product_id":"reliability-modelling-paperback-softback","title":"Reliability Modelling - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eReliability is an essential concept in mathematics, computing, research, and all disciplines of engineering, and reliability as a characteristic is, in fact, a probability. Therefore, in this book, the author uses the statistical approach to reliability modelling along with the MINITAB software package to provide a comprehensive treatment of modelling, from the basics through advanced modelling techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book begins by presenting a thorough grounding in the elements of modelling the lifetime of a single, non-repairable unit. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, the author includes a guide to all the fundamentals of probability theory, defines the various measures associated with reliability, then describes and discusses the more common lifetime models: the exponential, Weibull, normal, lognormal and gamma distributions. She concludes the groundwork by looking at ways of choosing and fitting the most appropriate model to a given data set, paying particular attention to two critical points: the effect of censored data and estimating lifetimes in the tail of the distribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe focus then shifts to topics somewhat more difficult:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003ethe difference in the analysis of lifetimes for repairable versus non-repairable systems and whether repair truly \"renews\" the system\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003emethods for dealing with system with reliability characteristic specified for more than one component or subsystem\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ethe effect of different types of maintenance strategies\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ethe analysis of life test data\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final chapter provides snapshot introductions to a range of advanced models and presents two case studies that illustrate various ideas from throughout the book.\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45546971726062,"sku":"9781584880141","price":163.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781584880141.jpg?v=1720242516","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/reliability-modelling-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
