Prediction Theory
A reliability prediction is one of the most common types of reliability analyses. This section provides an overview of the theory behind these predictions. The following table describes the topics that are included in this section.
Topic
Description
Introduces reliability prediction and basic terms and concepts.
Describes how calculation models are used to perform predictions.
Describes the major factors in calculation models that contribute to predicting component failure.
Describes the measures of reliability that are commonly calculated by a prediction.
Describes how the base failure rates calculated by a calculation model can be adjusted by taking into account additional failure information to better reflect the failure rate experienced in the field.
Describes how reliability objectives are set for subsystems and assemblies to meet a system reliability objective.
