Review :
“...this book weighs in on a wide range of reliability topics....highly readable...” (Test & Measurement World, March 2004) "...a major aim, well served here, is to help bridge the gap between theory and practice...an extremely useful source..." (Short Book Reviews, 2004) "...happy to recommend this book as a valuable complement to those that describe R&M methods..." (Quality & Reliability Engineering Int'l, Vol. 20(1), February 2004) "…suitable for a seminar type graduate course…I recommend this book to applied and theoretical minded reliabilists." (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, September 2003) "...industry statisticians...will certainly find papers in this book that will be applicable to production at their facilities." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 3, August 2003)
