Virtual Bookstore Citation Title CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR SYSTEM RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY OF MAINTAINED SYSTEMS USING MONTE CARLO TECHNIQUES. Author(s) Hasaballa,Mohamed Shibl Biltagy ; Corporate Author(s) AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Report Date 12/1/1981 Page Count 109 Abstract This thesis presents the results of an extensive literature search forfinding the confidence intervals for system reliability and availability ofmaintained systems using Monte Carlo techniques. The characteristics of systemreliability and maintainability analysis are discussed. The basic Markovianfailure and repair models are developed. A summary of the point estimates ofavailability, reliability of maintained systems, and the exact analyticalmethods are presented.. Finally, the Bootstrap (Double Monte Carlo technique) isused to obtain the confidence limits for the availability of the maintainedsystems.
