Abstract

The author describes work on the development and implementation of a series of Bayesian procedures for reliability and quality analysis, with a software package which is interactive and user-friendly, makes wide use of the graphical mode to display the results, and facilitates the eliciting and modulating of expert engineering judgments and opinions in some of the modules. She provides an overview of some of the procedures and introduces the computer package. Four scenarios (and their corresponding computer modules) involving pass/fail data, times-to-failure data, failure count data, and reliability growth data are highlighted
