Abstract :
This paper presents a method for designing component values of electrical devices when design values are random. A polyhedral approximation of the feasible region is used to contain the high yield region of the random distributions modeled by the Kumaraswamy distribution. Evaluation of designed system is done with a Monte Carlo simulation.
