ReliabilityMOfN:

Path: Common/Reliability

% Determine the reliability of a system
 n parallel devices of which m should survive.
 The reliability is exp(-t/MTBF).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   p = Reliability(m,n,mTBF,t)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   n     (1,1)  Number that must survive
   m    	(1,1)  Number of devices
   mTBF	(1,1)  Mean time between failure for each unit (s)
   t     (1,:)  Time vector (s), optional (default 0 to 4*mTBF)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   p     (1,:)  Reliability of the system (probability of failure)
