Event Tree Analysis (ETA) is a forward-looking method used to evaluate the outcomes of hazardous events. For each failure mode, we start with an initiating event that can trigger the failure mode ...

A fault tree pinpoints causes and effects, with an emphasis on why processes break down. This analysis is articulated in a flow chart with the final result at the top and contributing factors below.

Fault tree analysis (FTA) and event tree analysis (ETA) are two common methods for identifying and evaluating hazards in complex systems. They help you understand the causes and consequences of ...

This paper is concerned with ETA (event-tree analysis) where the branch point event causes are defined using fault trees. Attention is on the nontrivial situation where there are dependencies amongst ...

One of the main objectives of survival analysis is to predict the failure time that is usually considered as a continuous variable. In longitudinal studies, the data are often collected at every ...
