On the Accuracy of Replication Failure Rates
Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2022A prominent approach to studying the replication crisis has been to conduct replications of several different scientific findings as part of the same research effort. The reported proportion of findings that these programs determined failed to replicate have become important statistics in the replication crisis. However, these "failure rates" are based

On the Correlation of Failure Rates
1986A common problem in Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) is to find the distribution of a function of random variables, i.e., $$\text{Y = f}\left( {\text{X}_\text{1} \text{,}\,\text{X}_\text{2} \text{, \ldots \ldots ,X}_\text{n} } \right)$$ (1) Y may be the failure rate of a system or the rate of occurrence of an event, while Xi may be the ...

The failure rate of a convolution dominates the failure rate of any IFR component
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2015Abstract The failure rate of a convolution dominates, i.e., globally outperforms, the failure rate of any IFR component. An example is given to show this is not true for a DFR component.

Building a system failure rate estimator by identifying component failure rates
Proceedings 10th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (Cat. No.PR00443), 2003Following the current trend towards the increased use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components in safety-critical systems, the need arises to address safety issues related to COTS-based systems. In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical model to estimate the probability of failure, on demand, of a software system consisting of components. Thereby,

Thank you for sending me a copy of Condit's letter about my review of Miller's The Eads Bridge. First let me quote exactly from the paragraph of Miller's book under question (p. 88, n. 29): "By 1877 the iron truss would climax in such structures as the 517-foot central span of the Cincinnati Southern Bridge over the Ohio. In the meantime, iron railroad

Detection of Failure Rate Increases
Technometrics, 1973The problem of devising systematic policies for replacement of equipment subject to wear-out involves the detection of increases in failure rates. Detection procedures are defined as stopping times N with respect to the observed sequence of random failures. The concepts of “quickness of detection” and “frequency of false reactions” are made precise and

From Failure to Success: Replacing the Failure Rate [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 The failure rate is arguably the variable most widely used in the evaluation of retirement strategies. Its main shortcoming, evaluating how often a strategy fails but not by how much it does, is overcome by shortfall years, which considers precisely this information.

Failure mechanism based failure rate model
2009 9th International Conference on Electronic Measurement & Instruments, 2009For electronic products, the typical failure rate curve takes on three-stage bathtub shape, while few failure rate equations can describe the bathtub shaped curve. Based on environment load impact failure mechanism, the present paper develops load-property interference failure rate model for electronic products. The operation load, i.e.

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 1999
Consider a family of distributions with survival distributions that are log concave and stochastically increasing in a parameter over which it will be mixed. It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for a mixture over any such family to have an increasing failure rate is that the mixing distribution have an increasing failure rate ...
