Abstract
Random failure is perhaps the most abused term in reliability and related engineering interests. Past definitions, being logically more descriptive than constructive, have not been truly definitive. An attempt is made here to offer one that is: the class of failures statistically independent of past history. This definition is based upon the mutual implication between the stochastic processes producing such events and the unique characterization thereof by their independence.
