RiskAchievementImportance

RiskAchievementImportance[rdist,t]

gives the risk achievement importances for all components in the ReliabilityDistribution rdist at time t.

RiskAchievementImportance[fdist,t]

gives the risk achievement importances for all components in the FailureDistribution fdist at time t.

Details

  • RiskAchievementImportance is also known as risk achievement worth.
  • The risk achievement importance at time t for component is given by , where is the probability that the system failed given that the ^(th) component has failed, and is the probability that the system has failed.
  • The results are returned in the component order given in the distribution list in rdist or fdist.

Find out which component has the highest potential to make the system unreliable for a mission time of 1 day:

Show the importance over time:

With a mission time of 1 day, component could worsen the system reliability the most if it failed:

The importance measure is the factor with which the system unreliability can be increased by worsening . The worst case is a failed , which results in an unreliability of 1:
