APPLICATION OF SEDYAKIN'S MODEL AND BIRNBAUM-SAUNDERS FAMILY FOR STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF REDUNDANT SYSTEMS WITH ONE WARM STAND-BY UNIT

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to determine the improved system reliability by introducing the redundancy of components. This paper considers one warm stand-by unit with one main unit. We study the reliability of such systems using probability models in terms of Sedyakin's model. A parametric family of Birnbaum-Saunders distributions is considered as the distribution of failure times both of main and stand-by units. Parametric point and interval estimation is obtained from censored data.
