Evolved from the lectures of a recognized pioneer in developing the theory of reliability, Mathematical Models for Systems Reliability provides a rigorous treatment of the required probability background for understanding reliability theory. This classroom-tested text begins by discussing the Poisson process and its associated probability laws. It then uses a number of stochastic models to... Read more
