System availability: Time dependence and statistical inference by (semi) non‐parametric methods

Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis, 1989, vol. 5, issue 4, 357-375

Abstract: Probability models are formulated for the availability (probability of being operative, i.e. not failed or down at fixed or random time t) of a variety of simple repairable systems. Single‐exponential approximations of the time‐dependent approach to long‐run availability are presented. Problems of non‐parametric estimation of time‐dependent system availability from data are addressed by way of the empirical Laplace—Stieltjes transform. Uncertainty assessments are made by classical asymptotics (delta method) and by bootstrapping.
