Reliability Estimation of Classification Algorithms. II. Point Bayesian Estimates

This is the second of three articles that deal with estimating the reliability of classification algorithms. It examines the statistical methods used for point estimation of the reliability of classifiers in the Bayesian approach. The case of unequally weighted precedents is considered. The estimation results are applicable to the small-sample case, which is of considerable importance in practice.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 16, pp. 90–104, 2004.

Profust reliability of a gracefully degradable system

Research in traditional reliability theory is based mainly on probist reliability, which uses a binary state assumption and classical reliability distributions. In the present paper the binary state assumption has been replaced by a fuzzy state assumption, thereby leading to profust reliability estimates of a powerloom plant, which is modelled as a two unit gracefully degradable system. Results of Bowles and Palaez [Application of fuzzy logic to reliability engineering, Proc. IEEE 83(3) (1995) 435–449] have been deduced as a particular case of results presented here. It is also recognized that estimation of system parameters such as failure rates, is vital in reliability estimation. Available methods for such estimation do not cover the underlying uncertainty in the failure data collection involving human judgment, evaluation and decision. In this paper we introduce a new approach based on fuzzy set theory to estimate such system parameters.

Reliability range of model parameters and its application to biological models

This paper deals with the analysis of the determinability of the parameters of mathematical models of biological systems and the estimation of the reliability range of the parameter vectors. The results of the analysis are used to design further experiments for improving the estimation of the parameters. This procedure was illustrated by the investigation of intravenous radiopalmitate kinetics in rats with a special regard to the speed of labelled fatty acid outflow from plasma and lipoprotein formation in the liver. On the basis of the course of parameter sensitivity functions a new theoretical experiment, contributing to a marked improvement of the parameter reliability estimation, was designed. The method was algorithmized in the HYPER and EIGEN programs developed for the EAI690 hybrid computer system.

On a proper way to select population failure distribution and a stochastic optimization method in parameter estimation

It is widely accepted that the Weibull distribution plays an important role in reliability applications. The reliability of a product or a system is the probability that the product or the system will still function for a specified time period when operating under some confined conditions. Parameter estimation for the three parameter Weibull distribution has been studied by many researchers in the past. Maximum likelihood has traditionally been the main method of estimation for Weibull parameters along with other recently proposed hybrids of optimization methods. In this paper, we use a stochastic optimization method called the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to carry out the estimation. The method is extremely flexible and inference for any quantity of interest is easily obtained.
