Reliability
Analysis
Gain fundamental understanding of the concepts and methods
needed to plan, collect and analyze data for actionable
results. The course focuses on the proper application of
statistical methods to model failure data, estimate quantities
of interest for both components and systems, and make predictions.
Knowledge of basic algebra is helpful.
