Conditional Reliability
The conditional reliability function for the 1-parameter exponential distribution is given by:
- [math]\displaystyle{ R(T,t)=\frac{R(T+t)}{R(T)}=\frac{{{e}^{-\lambda (T+t)}}}{{{e}^{-\lambda T}}}={{e}^{-\lambda t}} }[/math]
which says that the reliability for a mission of [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] duration undertaken after the component or equipment has already accumulated [math]\displaystyle{ T }[/math] hours of operation from age zero is only a function of the mission duration, and not a function of the age at the beginning of the mission. This is referred to as the "memoryless property".
