based on relative frequencies or on well-established statistical models. A part of the …

This paper reviews the role of expert judgement to support reliability assessments within the
systems engineering design process. Generic design processes are described to give the …

We present a new method of statistical inference for data that include right-censored
observations. The method is based on Hill's A (n), a generalization of this assumption is …

Abstract Theory of imprecise probability generalizes classical probability theory, by
assigning to each event an interval instead of a single number. In this paper, we briefly …

Background Metagenomic assembly is a challenging problem due to the presence of
genetic material from multiple organisms. The problem becomes even more difficult when …

Accelerated life testing provides an interesting challenge for quantification of the
uncertainties involved, in particular due to the required linking of the units' failure times, or …

Despite the need to foster a technology‐intensive industry, most Korean SMEs (small and
medium‐sized enterprises) are faced with the difficulty of raising funds. To resolve this …

The paper suggests an effective approach for the estimation of reliability confidence bounds
based on component reliability and uncertainty data for multi-state systems with binary …

Age replacement of technical units has received much attention in the reliability literature
over the last four decades. Mostly, the failure time distribution for the units is assumed to be …

This thesis presents Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI) for several multiple
comparisons problems. We introduce NPI for comparison of multiple groups of data …
