‘Failure Rate Modeling for Reliability and Risk’ focuses on reliability theory, and to the failure rate (hazard rate, force of mortality) modeling and its generalizations to systems operating in a random environment and to repairablesystems. The failure rate is one of the crucial probabilistic characteristicsfor a number of disciplines; including reliability, survival analysis, risk analysis and demography. The book presents a systematic study of the failure rate and related indices, and covers a number of important applications where the failure rate plays the major role. Applications in engineering systems are studied, together with some actuarial, biological and demographic examples. Thebook provides a survey of this broad and interdisciplinary subject which willbe invaluable to researchers and advanced students in reliability engineeringand applied statistics, as well as to demographers, econometricians, actuaries and many other mathematically oriented researchers. Provides a systematic study of the failure rate and related indices INDICE: Introduction.- Failure Rate and Mean Remaining Lifetime.- More on Exponential Representation.- Point Processes and Minimal Repair.- Virtual Age and Imperfect Repair.- Mixture Failure Rate Modelling.- Limiting Behaviour of Mixture Failure Rates.- ‘Constructing’ the Failure Rate.- Failure Rate of Software.- Demographic and Biological Applications.
