A comment on Buehler optimal confidence bounds for series systems reliability

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Confidence limits for the reliability of series systems based on binomial component data are discussed. Several examples are given which show that Buehler optimal confidence bounds can increase in length with an increasing point estimate of reliability, a counter-intuitive result.
