This work discusses an approach to solve a problem of estimation of equipment remaining life based on historical failure records. An approach typically adopted to solve this problem is based on parametric models of equipment lifetime, fitted to failure data. Since the lifetime data is most often censored, the model fit as well as goodness of fit procedures should handle censored observations. While...
Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a tool originally developed in 1962 by Bell Labs for use in studying failure modes in the launch control system of the Minuteman missile project. The tool now finds wide use in numerous applications from accident investigation to design prototyping and is also finding use for protection and control related applications. This paper provides an elementary background to the...
