• Sommario/riassunto: Expert practical and theoretical coverage of runs and scansThis volume presents both theoretical and applied aspects of runs and scans, and illustrates their important role in reliability analysis through various applications from science and engineering. Runs and Scans with Applications presents new and exciting content in a systematic and cohesive way in a single comprehensive volume, complete with relevant approximations and explanations of some limit theorems.The authors provide detailed discussions of both classical and current problems, such as:* Sooner and later waiting time
