Summary
Some approaches are developed to the approximate analysis of reliability parameters via small corrections. It is assumed that a parameter in consideration can be computed by a formula for a simpler system slightly different from a given one. In many cases, a correction can be derived for the difference of the two values of the parameter. Variance reduction simulation methods can be applied.
