\section{Extracting/Assisting in FMECA from the DAG}
Work out the alpha and beta values !!! FMECA is a refinement of FMEA and introduces two statistical variables, $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
The $\alpha$ value is the probability of
of a particular component failure
mode occuring.We can trace the DAG from a system level error/top level event, and assign
$\alpha$ values according to published statistics~\cite{fmd91}~\cite{mil1992}.
As for the FMEA example we can denote this using a $Stat()$ function.
The $\beta$ value is the probability that the component failure mode will
cause a given system level error.
This may be determined hueistically or by field data.
A factor of FMECA is criticallity. Each top level event/failure
is assigned a criticallity value. This defines how seriously the problem is
pervcieved. This must be determined by the safety engineers responsible for the equipment and
its environment.
