(6.3)
Failure rate (instantaneous rate of failure, hazard function or hazard rate):
(6.4,6.5)

4. reliability at time t:
The distribution function:

5. Differentiation, yield
6.4 Modeling of failure Rates

6. and
Assuming linear variation:

9. 6.5 Estimation of failure rate from emperical data
The estimate reliability function at time t:
(6.23)
The failure rate can be computed as
(6.24)
example:6.1

12. 6.6 Mean time before failure (MTBF)
Since all system fail after a finite time, we have
(6.26)
