10. Reliability Verification with Economic Constraints

Spring Meeting

The verification of a reliability target is one of the last and most expensive steps in the development process of a technical product. It ensures a certain level of product reliability prior to market release and provides a limit for expected warranty costs. Depending on product complexity and diversity as well as production volumes, a sufficient verification of a challenging target may...

26. Monotonicity-Based Parent-Child Inference for the Efficient Computation of Signatures and Minimal Cut/Path Sets in Coherent Systems

Spring Meeting

In binary reliability systems, the minimal cut-sets, path-sets and signature vector [1, 2], provide the basis for computing key reliability measures, such as the survival function and the mean time to failure [1, 3]. However, these quantities are typically obtained by exhaustive evaluation of the structure function over the Boolean state space [1], whose size grows exponentially with the...

33. Estimation of return levels with the generalised F distribution #5

Jesper Rydén (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences)

29/05/2026, 13:30

The generalised F distribution (GenF) has been called an “umbrella” that covers several conventional distributions. In this work, we compare GenF with the Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) distribution with focus on estimation of return levels. Upper-tail asymptotics of the GenF are examined in relation to GEV. Potential numerical challenges in fitting the GenF are discussed. Data sets of river...
