ReliabilityParallel:

Path: Common/Reliability

% Determine the reliability of a parallel system
 Compute the probability of failure for n parallel devices.
 The reliability is exp(-t/MTBF). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   r = ReliabilityParallel(n,mTBF,t)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   n    	(1,:)  Number of devices for each MTBF
   mTBF	(1,:)  Mean time between failure for each unit (s)
   t     (1,:)  Time vector (s), default 0 to 6*max(mTBF)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   p     (1,:)   Probability of failure
