This paper outlines the mathematical theory required for eliciting the hyperparameters of a subjective conjugate distribution for the exponential survival model with censoring. The technique involves the quantification of expert knowledge based on determination by the expert of expected fractiles of

The determination of mathematical reliability in static structures is still a motivating ยฎeld of research. On one hand, the failure probability values are of greater importance in engineering activities; on the other hand, the determination of this probability remains a time consuming computational
This note gives a simple procedure for finding the maximum likelihood estimate of the prior probabilities in paternity cases. The procedure is based on a fixed point principle.
The algorithm presented here makes exact computations of characteristics of the probability distribution of project duration for a stochastic project network. Given discrete independent probability distributions for task durations, the algorithm will compute either moments of the project duration di
