This study introduces nonparametric confidence intervals for the limiting availability of repairable systems. Methods are presented for both complete and right-censored data, offering new statistical tools for system reliability analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Reliability Engineering
  • Statistical Inference
  • Stochastic Processes

Background:

  • The point availability of a repairable system measures its operational probability at a specific time.
  • As time progresses, point availability approaches a stable value known as limiting availability.
  • Prior research established nonparametric confidence intervals for point availability, but not for limiting availability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop nonparametric confidence intervals for the limiting availability of repairable systems.
  • To address scenarios with both complete and right-censored data.
  • To provide novel statistical methods for estimating system reliability over time.

Main Methods:

  • Nonparametric statistical methods were employed.

  • Confidence intervals were derived for two distinct data conditions: complete data and right-censored data.
  • Simulation studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of the derived intervals.

    • Main Results:

    • Nonparametric confidence intervals for limiting availability were successfully derived for both complete and right-censored data.
    • The study provides a statistically sound method for estimating the long-term operational probability of repairable systems.
    • Applications demonstrating the practical utility of the method are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • This research fills a gap in the literature by providing the first nonparametric confidence intervals for limiting availability.
    • The derived methods offer valuable tools for reliability engineers and statisticians.
    • The findings contribute to a better understanding and estimation of long-term system performance.
