Esary Proschan
When Esary Proschan is selected as the calculation method, the upper bound of the gate probability is calculated as:
Where:
= The product of the probabilities of events that are common to cut sets of that gate.
If there is no common event, then Qc(t) = 1.
is the probability of cut set i without considering common events. For example, those probabilities are 1.
The failure frequency is calculated as:
