Abstract :
This paper develops a mathematical theory associated with frequency and duration methods in system reliability evaluation. The approach is based upon the concept of frequency as an expectation of the state encounter rate. These concepts are then used to derive the basic conditions for mergeability which are very useful when evaluating the reliability of large systems.
