The problem of sensitivity of a redundant system’s reliability
characteristics to shapes of their input distributions is considered. In Efrosinin and
Rykov, Information Technologies and Mathematical Modelling, 2014, [1] an analytical
form for dependence of a two-unit cold standby redundant system reliability
characteristics on life and repair time input distributions was obtained and investigated
for the case of exponential distribution of one of the time lengths. In the current
chapter this study is extended with the help of simulation method to a general case
of both non-exponential distributions. Comparison of analytic and simulation results
was carried out.
