Reliability - R(t) • The probability that the component experiences no failure during the the time interval (0,t). • Example: exponential distribution
Unreliability - F(t) • The probability that the component experiences the first failure during (0,t). • Example: exponential distribution
Failure Density - f(t) (exponential distribution)
Failure Rate - r(t) • The probability that the component fails per unit time at time t, given that the component has survived to time t. • Example: The component with a constant failure rate is considered as good as new, if it is functioning.

Repair Probability - G(t) • The probability that repair is completed before time t, given that the component failed at time zero. • If the component is non-repairable
Repair Rate - m(t) • The probability that the component is repaired per unit time at time t, given that the component failed at time zero and has been failed to time t. • If the component is non-repairable
Availability - A(t) • The probability that the component is normal at time t. • For non-repairable components • For repairable components
Unavailability - Q(t) • The probability that the component fails at time t. • For non-repairable components • For repairable components
Unconditional Repair Density, w(t) The probability that a component fails per unit time at time t, given that it jumped into the normal state at time zero. Note, for non-repairable components.
Unconditional Repair Density, v(t) The probability that the component is repaired per unit time at time t, give that it jumped into the normal state at time zero.
Conditional Failure Intensity, λ(t) The probability that the component fails per unit time, given that it is in the normal state at time zero and normal at time t. In general , λ(t)≠r(t). For non-repairable components, λ(t) = r(t). However, if the failure rate is constant (λ) , then λ(t) = r(t) = λ for both repairable and non-repairable components.
Conditional Repair Intensity, µ(t) The probability that a component is repaired per unit time at time t, given that it is jumped into the normal state at time zero and is failed at time t, For non-repairable component, µ(t)=m(t)=0. For constant repair rate m, µ(t)=m.
ENF over an interval, W(t1,t2 ) Expected number of failures during (t1,t2) given that the component jumped into the normal state at time zero. For non-repairable components

CUT SET IMPORTANCE The importance of a cut set K is defined as Where, is the probability of the top event. may be interpreted as the conditional probability that the cut set occurs given that the top event has occurred. PRIMAL EVENT IMPORTANCE The importance of a primal event is defined as or Where, the sum is taken over all cut sets which contain primal event .
