Numerical Illustration for Availability Function of Two Unit Non Identical System using M.L. Estimation

摘要

This paper presents the method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation to evaluate the estimate of availability [Av(t)]function of a two unit non-identical system under the influence of Lethal and Non-lethal Common Cause Shock(CCS) failures. The estimates of the above measures are given for series system. The numerical evidences are given to justify the use of maximum likelihood estimation in the present case.
