\section{Introduction}
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Failure Modes and System Failure Symptoms}
|
||||
describe briefly what a base component failure mode is and what a system level failure mode is.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Bayes Theorm in Relation to Failure Modes}
|
||||
|
||||
\paragraph{Conditional Probability}
|
||||
Bayes theorem describes the probability of causes.
|
||||
|
||||
In the context of failure modes in components
|
||||
we are interested in how they may affect a SYSTEM.
|
||||
The SYSTEM failure modes can be seen as symptoms of the failure modes of base
|
||||
components.
|
||||
For example, let $B$ be a base component failure mode
|
||||
abd let $S$ be a system level failure mode.
|
||||
|
||||
We can say that the conditional probability of $S$ given $B$ is denoted as
|
||||
\begin{equation}
|
||||
\label{eqn:bayes1}
|
||||
P(S|B) = P(S \cap B) / P(S)
|
||||
\end{equation}
|
||||
|
||||
Or in other words we can say that the probability of $B$ and $S$ occurring
|
||||
divided by the probability of $S$ occurring due to any cause, is the probability
|
||||
the $B$ caused $S$. We can call this the {\em conditional probability} of $S$ given $B$.
|
||||
Re-arranging \ref{eqn:bayes1}
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P(S|B) P(S) = P(S \cap B) $$
|
||||
|
||||
\paragraph{Multiple Events and conditional Probability}
|
||||
|
||||
\paragraph{Bayes Theorem}
|
||||
|
||||
Consider a SYSTEM error that has several potential base component causes.
|
||||
Because a SYSTEM typically has a number of high level errors let us consider
|
||||
a specific one and label it $S_k$.
|
||||
We can call $P(S_k)$ the prior probability of the SYSTEM error. That is to
|
||||
say the iprobability od $S_k$ occuring with no information about possible causes for it.
|
||||
Consider a number of possible
|
||||
base component `potential cause' events as $B_n$ where $n$ is an index.
|
||||
Our sample space $SS$, for investigating the system failure mode/symptom
|
||||
$S_k$ is thus $ SS = \{B_1 ... B_n\} $.
|
||||
Thus if B is any event, we can apply bayes theorem
|
||||
to determine the statistical likelihood that a given failure mode $B_n$
|
||||
will cause the system level error $S_k$
|
||||
|
||||
IN ENGLEEEESH Inverse causality.....
|
||||
Prob $B_n$ caused $S_k$ is the prob $S_k$ caused by $B_n$ divided by prob of $B_n$
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
P(S_k|B_n) = \frac{P(S_k) \; P(B_n | S_k) }{P(B_n)}
|
||||
%P(B|S_k) = \frac{P(S_k | B)\, P(B)}{P(S_k)}
|
||||
$$
|
||||
%%% because the probability of $B_n$ in the sample space SS
|
||||
%%%is the sum of all probabilities off all failure modes in the indexed set $SS$
|
||||
%%%multiplied by the probability of each failure mode causing
|
||||
%%%the system failure mode $S_k$.
|
||||
%%%
|
||||
%%%$$
|
||||
%%%P(B_n) = {\sum_j^n P(B_j \cap S_k)} = {\sum_j^n P(B_n|A_i) P(A_i)}
|
||||
%%%$$
|
||||
%%%
|
||||
%%%we can express this as
|
||||
%%%\begin{equation}
|
||||
%%%\label{eqn:bayes2}
|
||||
%%% P(S_k|B) = \frac{P(S_k) \; P(B_n|S_k)}{ \sum__{j=1}^{n} P(B_j)P(S_k | B_j). }
|
||||
%%%\end{equation}
|
||||
|
||||
RESTRICTIONS:
|
||||
|
||||
Because this uses conditional probability for multiple independent events
|
||||
complications such as operational states or environmental conditions
|
||||
cannot be represented by the Bayesian model.
|
||||
% consider 747 engines and a volcanic ash cloud....

||||
