Bounds on Reliability

The reliability of the lognormal distribution is given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ R({T}',V;A,B,{{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}})=\int_{{{T}'}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( \tfrac{t+\ln (V)+\widehat{A}-\tfrac{\widehat{B}}{V}}{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}} \right)}^{2}}}}dt }[/math]

Let [math]\displaystyle{ \widehat{z}(t,V;A,B,{{\sigma }_{T}})=\tfrac{t+\ln (V)+\widehat{A}-\tfrac{\widehat{B}}{V}}{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}}, }[/math] then [math]\displaystyle{ \tfrac{d\widehat{z}}{dt}=\tfrac{1}{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}}. }[/math]
For [math]\displaystyle{ t={T}' }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \widehat{z}=\tfrac{{T}'+\ln (V)+\widehat{A}-\tfrac{\widehat{B}}{V}}{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}} }[/math] , and for [math]\displaystyle{ t=\infty , }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ \widehat{z}=\infty . }[/math] The above equation then becomes:

[math]\displaystyle{ R(\widehat{z})=\int_{\widehat{z}({T}',V)}^{\infty }\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{z}^{2}}}}dz }[/math]

The bounds on [math]\displaystyle{ z }[/math] are estimated from:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{z}_{U}}= & \widehat{z}+{{K}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var(\widehat{z})} \\ & {{z}_{L}}= & \widehat{z}-{{K}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var(\widehat{z})} \end{align} }[/math]

where:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} Var(\widehat{z})= & \left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial A} \right)_{\widehat{A}}^{2}Var(\widehat{A})+\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial B} \right)_{\widehat{B}}^{2}Var(\widehat{B})+\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial {{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}}} \right)_{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}}^{2}Var({{\widehat{\sigma }}_{T}}) +2{{\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial A} \right)}_{\widehat{A}}}{{\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial B} \right)}_{\widehat{B}}}Cov\left( \widehat{A},\widehat{B} \right) \\ & +2{{\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial A} \right)}_{\widehat{A}}}{{\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial {{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}}} \right)}_{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}}}Cov\left( \widehat{A},{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{T}} \right) +2{{\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial B} \right)}_{\widehat{B}}}{{\left( \frac{\partial \widehat{z}}{\partial {{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}}} \right)}_{{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}}}Cov\left( \widehat{B},{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{T}} \right) \end{align} }[/math]

or:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & Var(\widehat{z})= \frac{1}{\widehat{\sigma }_{{{T}'}}^{2}}[Var(\widehat{A})+\frac{1}{{{V}^{2}}}Var(\widehat{B})+{{\widehat{z}}^{2}}Var({{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}}) -\frac{2}{V}Cov\left( \widehat{A},\widehat{B} \right)-2\widehat{z}Cov\left( \widehat{A},{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}} \right)+\frac{2\widehat{z}}{V}Cov\left( \widehat{B},{{\widehat{\sigma }}_{{{T}'}}} \right)] \end{align} }[/math]

The upper and lower bounds on reliability are:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{R}_{U}}= & \int_{{{z}_{L}}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{z}^{2}}}}dz\text{ (Upper bound)} \\ & {{R}_{L}}= & \int_{{{z}_{U}}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{z}^{2}}}}dz\text{ (Lower bound)} \end{align} }[/math]
