Abstract
The Markov techniques described in the previous two chapters permit the probability of residing in each state of the system to be evaluated. The probability of being in the system up state, system down state and system derated state(s) can then be evaluated from these individual state probabilities knowing which of the individual system states contribute to the respective overall system states. These techniques can be used for either mission orientated or repairable systems, and can be extended to evaluate the MTTF of the system.
