Description

• Data-based Reliability (DE-7600015) will focus on developing an understanding of the concepts of reliability theory and their applications to practical problems from engineering, life science, etc.
• Topics covered in this class include: (i) Review of old material: probability, random Variables, expectation, variance, etc. (ii) System reliability. (iii) Parametric estimation methods. (iv) Types of censoring. (v) Parametric lifetime models. (vi) Linear models. (vii) Basic accelerated lifetime models.
• The popular R statistical language or Rstudio will be handled in this class.
