  • Abstract
    This paper is an expository survey of some recent academic research in the theory of system reliability and safety, applicable in the analysis of large complex systems such as nuclear reactors, computers, and space vehicles. The survey emphasizes new approaches in reliability theory, many nonparametric, rather than standard parametric approaches.
