Abstract :
This paper develops a method for evaluating the magnitude of errors which can arise in numerical computation of probabilistic parameters for system safety and reliability quantification. Our method is constructed on the basis of the theory of integral operators in functional analysis. Reliability theoretic interpretation for our main mathematical result is presented.
