  • Abstract
    WCF Method is a classic way to derive lower confidence limits of parameter functions. Based on the analytical expression of the reliability function for general complex system described by the minimal path, this article gives the formula of the lower confidence limit of reliability by WCF method. Simulation studies for the Bridge system demonstrate the efficiency of the method and the superiority compared with other methods.
