In the present paper we use discrete event simulation in order to analyze a binary monotone system of repairable components. Asymptotic statistical properties of such a system, e.g., the asymptotic system availability and ...

In the present paper the Natvig measures of component importance for repairable systems, and its extended version are analysed for two three component systems and a bridge system. The measures are also applied to an offshore ...

Background: According to published data, the ability to prevent various hypertension related events differs between the various anti-hypertensive drug groups. Although absolute drug effects with similar drugs also differ ...

In Dahl et al. (2007) we extended and refined some tools given in O'Hagan (2003) for criticism of Bayesian hierarchical models. Especially, avoiding double use of data by a data splitting approach was a main concern. Such ...

O'Hagan (2003) introduces some tools for criticism of Bayesian hierarchical models that can be applied at each node of the model, with a view to diagnosing problems of model fit at any point in the model structure. His ...

In Gåsemyr and Natvig (2001) partial monitoring of components with applications to preventive system maintenance was considered for a binary monotone system of binary components. The purpose of the present paper is to ...

In this paper the Barlow and Proschan (1975) measure of the importance of a component in a binary coherent system is revisited. This measure is for the case of components not undergoing repair equal to the probability of ...
