Class BarlowProschan<T>

java.lang.Object

org.jreliability.importancemeasures.BarlowProschan<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the variables of the BDD of the system

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImportanceMeasure

public class BarlowProschan<T>
extends java.lang.Object
implements ImportanceMeasure

The BarlowProschan class calculates the time-independent importance for coherent systems proposed by Barlow and Proschan in [BP75]. Uses the implementation of the BP importance in [Nat09]. [BP75] ( https://doi.org/10.1016/0304-4149(75)90013-7 ) [Nat09] ( https://doi.org/10.1007/s11009-008-9079-1 )

Constructor Detail

BarlowProschan

public BarlowProschan(BDD<T> bdd,
                      org.apache.commons.collections15.Transformer<T,ReliabilityFunction> transformer)

Returns a BarlowProschan calculator for a specific system with its BDD and ReliabilityFunction Transformer.

Parameters:

bdd - The BDD representing the system structure function

transformer - The Transformer used to get the ReliabilityFunction of variables present in the BDD

Method Detail

calculate

public java.util.Map<T,java.lang.Double> calculate()
                                                  throws java.lang.ArithmeticException

Calculates the Barlow Proschan importances for all components. It is only defined for coherent systems, ie. for systems where its reliability is with component x working is always higher, than when it is not working. As it integrates over the difference in the reliability, the difference must not be negative ie. the system must be coherent. Uses equation 2 of [Nat09] to create the BP function, to be integrated.

Returns:

results Map of components and their respective Barlow Proschan importance

Throws:

java.lang.ArithmeticException - In case a non-coherent system is tried to be evaluated.
