  • Abstract
    This short communication deals with the practical computation of the median rank function, F(i,n). F is the estimator of the cumulative probability of failure for the ith of n identically stressed samples. The exact values of the median rank function are easy to compute, using a reliable and easy-to-code algorithm presented in this paper
