Recursive variance reduction in reliability analysis

Canale, Eduardo - Cancela, Héctor - Romero, Pablo - Robledo Amoza, Franco Rafael

Resumen:

Network reliability deals with reliability metrics of large classes of mul- ticomponent systems. Recursive Variance Reduction (RVR) is a powerful pointwise estimation method, widely applied in network reliability anal- ysis. In this paper, RVR is extended to arbitrary Stochastic Binary Sys- tems, with minor requirements. Additionally, its variance is again lower than Crude Monte Carlo (CMC), in this general context.
