Series on Quality, Reliability and Engineering Statistics - Vol. 5
SYSTEM AND BAYESIAN RELIABILITY
Essays in Honor of Professor Richard E Barlow on His 70th Birthday
edited by Yu Hayakawa (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand), Telba Irony (Food and Drug Administration, USA) & Min Xie (National University of Singapore, Singapore)
This volume is a collection of articles on reliability systems and Bayesian reliability analysis. Written by reputable researchers, the articles are self-contained and are linked with literature reviews and new research ideas. The book is dedicated to Emeritus Professor Richard E Barlow, who is well known for his pioneering research on reliability theory and Bayesian reliability analysis.
Contents:
- System Reliability Analysis:
- On Regular Reliability
Models (J-C Chang et al.)
- Bounding System Reliability (J N Hagstrom & S M Ross)
- Large Excesses for Finite-State Markov Chains (D Blackwell)
- Ageing Properties:
- Nonmonotonic Failure Rates and Mean Residual Life Functions (R C Gupta)
- The Failure Rate and the Mean Residual Lifetime of Mixtures (M S Finkelstein)
- On Some Discrete Notions of Aging (C Bracquemond et al.)
- Bayesian Analysis:
- On the Practical Implementation of the Bayesian Paradigm in Reliability and Risk Analysis (T Aven)
- A Weibull Wearout Test: Full Bayesian Approach (T Z Irony et al.)
- Bayesian Nonparametric Estimation of a Monotone Hazard Rate (M-W Ho & A Y Lo)
- and other papers
Readership: Students, academics, researchers and professionals in industrial
engineering, probability and statistics, and applied mathematics.
“Professor Barlow is author or co-author of seven books and many ground-breaking papers in the areas emphasized in this volume. This volume is a welcome and fitting 70th birthday gift.”
