Abstract
This paper presents a GEP-based simulation – data mining approach for obtaining closed-form reliability formulas of consecutive-k-out-of-n: F systems with identical component reliabilities. This work proves to be GEP’s first exploration into the reliability realm and also provides a new perspective for the reliability community to solve for complex reliability formulas. Experimentation has shown the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework, although further revisions and developments must be made to the model in order to solve larger scale problems.
