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
