On steady state availability of a system with lognormal repair time

摘要

Assuming two-parameter lognormal distribution for repair times, statistical inference for the steady state availability of a system is considered. For the failure time distribution, weibull, gamma, and lognormal distributions were considered. Using the generalized p-value approach, we propose confidence intervals and exact tests for the steady state availability of a system. A couple of examples are given to illustrate the proposed procedures.
