Master's Project: Reliability Estimation in Series Systems

My master's project on maximum likelihood estimation for series systems with right-censored and masked failure data.

Masked Failure Data: Looking Back, Looking Forward

A retrospective on three years of building R packages and writing papers for masked series system reliability, and what comes next.

Observation Functors: Composable Censoring for Series System Simulation

Observation functors in maskedcauses: composable functions that separate the data-generating process from the observation mechanism, enabling mixed-censoring simulation and verified Monte Carlo studies.

maskedcauses: Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Masked Series System Failures

The maskedcauses R package for MLE in series systems with masked component failures, built on composable likelihood contributions and validated through simulation.

mdrelax: When Masking Conditions Don't Hold

Extending masked failure data analysis when the standard C1-C2-C3 masking conditions are violated.

Model Selection for Weibull Series Systems: When Simpler Models Suffice

When can reliability engineers safely use simpler models? Likelihood ratio tests on Weibull series systems give sharp boundaries.
