Reliability is a very important characteristic of many systems. However, there are some problems how to represent a complex system that contains a lot of different components. The problem of component variability can be solved by using Multi-State Systems (MSSs), which consists of components with different number of performance levels. The problem of large system dimension can be solved by using decision...
Multi-State System (MSS) is mathematical model of investigated object in reliability analysis. MSS allows present the investigated object in more detail than traditional Binary-State System. The importance analysis allows MSS reliability estimation depending on the system structure and its components states. Importance measures quantify the criticality of a particular component. They have been widely...
