Time-Dependent Error-Detection Rate Model for Software Reliability and Other Performance Measures

Amrit L. Goel, Kazu Okumoto · 1 Aug 1979

This paper presents a stochastic model for the software failure phenomenon based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). The failure process is analyzed to develop a suitable meanvalue function for the NHPP; expressions are given for several performance measures. Actual software failure data are analyzed and compared with a previous analysis.

A Hybrid Prognostics Approach for Estimating Remaining Useful Life of Rolling Element Bearings

Biao Wang, Yaguo Lei, Naipeng Li et al. · 14 Dec 2018

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of rolling element bearings plays a pivotal role in reducing costly unplanned maintenance and increasing the reliability, availability, and safety of machines. This paper proposes a hybrid prognostics approach for RUL prediction of rolling element bearings. First, degradation data of bearings are sparsely represented using relevance vector machine regressions with…

Exponentiated Weibull family for analyzing bathtub failure-rate data

G. S. Mudholkar, Divesh Srivastava · 1 Jun 1993

A simple generalization of the Weibull distribution is presented. The distribution is well suited for modeling bathtub failure rate lifetime data and for testing goodness-of-fit of the Weibull and negative exponential models as subhypotheses.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

S-Shaped Reliability Growth Modeling for Software Error Detection

Shigeru Yamada, Mitsuru Ohba, Shunji Osaki · 1 Dec 1983

This paper investigates a stochastic model for a software error detection process in which the growth curve of the number of detected software errors for the observed data is S-shaped. The software error detection model is a nonhomogeneous Poisson process where the mean-value function has an S-shaped growth curve. The model is applied to actual…

How to Identify a Bathtub Hazard Rate

Magne V. Aarset · 1 Apr 1987

The Total Time on Test (TTT) concept is a useful tool in several reliability contexts. This note presents a new test statistic, based on the TTT plot, for testing if a random sample is generated from a life distribution with constant versus bathtub-shaped hazard rate.

IEEE Transactions on Reliability template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Reliability format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Transactions on Reliability template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Transactions on Reliability use?
IEEE Transactions on Reliability uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," IEEE Transactions on Reliability, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Transactions on Reliability?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEtran LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Transactions on Reliability document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the IEEE Transactions on Reliability template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Transactions on Reliability format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes IEEE Transactions on Reliability?
IEEE Transactions on Reliability is a engineering and computer science journal published by IEEE. DocuGuru's IEEE Transactions on Reliability template matches IEEE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Transactions on Reliability PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Transactions on Reliability template (the IEEEtran class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Transactions on Reliability template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Transactions on Reliability template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Transactions on Reliability PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
