Talk:Reliability engineering

Introduction

The third paragraph implies that uncertainty about parameter estimates and large multivariate methods invalidate statistical predictions, neither of which is true. It seems like it's written by someone who has been burned by bad statistical models and got faulty results. If the point of the paragraph is to emphasize that reliability encompasses more than statistics that is fine, but its current tone seems to attack statistics as a discipline.

See also section

In the see also section of this article, I have just added a link to product qualification even though such a page does not exist today. This is such a common term in both reliability engineering and quality engineering, that it would be very useful if someone could start to write it up. A Google search for "product qualification" just found 65,000 hits, so there's plenty to work from. DFH 19:59:33, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Bayes Theorem

Bayes theorem is a very important tool in reliability engineering to reduce a complicated system into a simpler system or a black box. It should be mentioned in the article. -- HN.
