dc.description.abstract |
A consistent asymptotic normal (CAN) estimator and confidence limits for the steady-state availability of series and parallel systems subject to unit failures, common-cause shock (CCS)failures and human error are studied. This paper also deals with the estimation from a Bayesian viewpoint with a number of prior distributions assumed for the unknown parameters in the system, which reflect different degrees of belief on the failure mechanisms. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to derive the posterior distribution for the steady-state availability and subsequently the highest posterior density (HPD) intervals. A numerical example illustrates the results. |

'n Konsekwente asimptotiese normaalberamer en vertroueintervalle vir die
ewewigstoestandsbeskikbaarheid van stelsels in serie en parallel, wat onderworpe is aan
eenheids-, gemeenskaplike skok- en menslike foutfalings, word bestudeer. In die artikel word
ook 'n Bayes-benadering gevolg vir die beraming deur 'n aantal a priori-verdelings vir die
onbekende parameters in die stelsel, wat verskillende grade van vertroue in die
falingsmeganismes weerspieël, te aanvaar. Monte Carlo-simulasie word gebruik om die a
posteriori-verdeling vir die ewewigstoestandsbeskikbaarheid en daarna die hoogste a posteriori-digtheidsintervalle (HPD) af te lei. 'n Numeriese voorbeeld illustreer die resultate. |
