Features
  • eases students' difficulty in differentiating between probabilistic models and statistical methods by clearly separating coverage of each topic.
  • offers many examples and exercises that have closed-form answers for the sake of brevity and simplicity, but assures students that this will not always be the case when performing a reliability analysis.
  • keeps parameterizations consistent throughout, but exposes students to these differences by parameterizing the exponential distribution by its failure rate in Chapters 4 and 8, and by its mean in Chapter 7.
  • covers models, methods, and data sets that apply equally well to all three areas of application—actuarial science, biostatistics, and reliability engineering.
  • keeps number of data sets used in the text to a minimum to insure that students do not get the techniques and the data sets confused.
