Statistical Reliability Engineering Methods, Models and Applications

This book presents the state-of-the-art methodology and detailed analytical models and methods used to assess the reliability of complex systems and related applications in statistical reliability engineering. It is a textbook based mainly on the author’s recent research and publications as well as experience of over 30 years in this field.

The book covers a wide range of methods and models in reliability, and their applications, including:

• statistical methods and model selection for machine learning;
• models for maintenance and software reliability;
statistical reliability estimation of complex systems; and
• statistical reliability analysis of k out of n systems, standby systems and repairable systems.

Offering numerous examples and solved problems within each chapter, this comprehensive text provides an introduction to reliability engineering graduate students, a reference for data scientists and reliability engineers, and a thorough guide for researchers and instructors in the field.
