The Imprecise Dirichlet Model for Multilevel System Reliability

Journal of Statistical Theory and Practice, 3(1), 211–223.

By: A. Wilson*, A. Huzurbazar* & K. Sentz*

author keywords: Fault tree; Bayesian network; Multilevel data; Reliability; Multinomial-Dirichlet model; Imprecise Dirichlet model
TL;DR: This paper compares the Bayesian fault tree and incomplete data approaches to statistical inference for multilevel data in fault trees and considers two a priori representations of uncertainty about the parameters of a Bayesian network: a multinomial- Dirichlet model and an extension of the imprecise Diriclet model.
