Maximum group sizes for simultaneous testing in high potential risk scenarios (2013)
Journal Article
Coolen, F. (2013). Maximum group sizes for simultaneous testing in high potential risk scenarios. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 227(6), 569-575. https://doi.org/10.1177/1748006x13489483

When tests are performed in scenarios such as reliability demonstration, two extreme possibilities are to perform all required tests simultaneously or to test all units sequentially. From the perspective of time for testing, the former is typically p... Read More about Maximum group sizes for simultaneous testing in high potential risk scenarios.

Nonparametric predictive inference for system failure time based on bounds for the signature (2013)
Journal Article
Al-Nefaiee, A., & Coolen, F. (2013). Nonparametric predictive inference for system failure time based on bounds for the signature. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 227(5), 513-522. https://doi.org/10.1177/1748006x13485188

System signatures provide a powerful framework for reliability assessment for systems consisting of exchangeable components. The use of signatures in nonparametric predictive inference has been presented and leads to lower and upper survival function...

Nonparametric predictive multiple comparisons of lifetime data (2012)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T., Coolen-Schrijner, P., & Coolen, F. (2012). Nonparametric predictive multiple comparisons of lifetime data. Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 41(22), 4164-4181. https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2011.569863

We consider lifetime experiments to compare units from different groups, where the units’ lifetimes may be right censored. Nonparametric predictive inference for comparison of multiple groups is presented, in particular lower and upper probabilities...

Nonparametric predictive inference for binary diagnostic tests (2012)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T., Coolen-Schrijner, P., & Coolen, F. (2012). Nonparametric predictive inference for binary diagnostic tests. Journal of statistical theory and practice, 6(4), 665-680. https://doi.org/10.1080/15598608.2012.719800

Measuring the accuracy of diagnostic tests is crucial in many application areas, including medicine, health care, and data mining. Good methods for determining diagnostic accuracy provide useful guidance on selection of patient treatment, and the abi...

Nonparametric predictive inference for failure times of systems with exchangeable components (2012)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., & Al-nefaiee, A. (2012). Nonparametric predictive inference for failure times of systems with exchangeable components. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 226(3), 262-273. https://doi.org/10.1177/1748006x11418430

The theory of system signatures (Samaniego, 2007) provides a powerful framework for reliability assessment for systems consisting of exchangeable components. For a system with m components, the signature is a vector containing the probabilities for t...
