Reliability equivalence factors for a series–parallel system of components with exponentiated Weibull lifetimes (2015)
Journal Article

We study reliability equivalence factors of a system of independent and identical components with exponentiated Weibull lifetimes. The system has n subsystems connected in parallel and subsystem i has m_i components connected in series, i=1,...,n. We...

Estimation of productivity in Korean electric power plants : a semiparametric smooth coefficient model (2014)
Journal Article

This paper analyzes the impact of load factor, facility and generator types on the productivity of Korean electric power plants. In order to capture important differences in the effect of load policy on power output, we use a semiparametric smooth co...
