2. Taking uncertainties into account

The data used for probabilistic calculations comes from the statistical processing of feedback from operating plants. Thus, from k observed failures over a cumulative observation time, T the failure rate can be estimated at $\hat{λ} = \frac{k}{T}$ . The accuracy of this estimate increases as k and T increase. It is generally estimated from the 90% confidence interval, $[\frac{1}{2 T} χ_{95 %,2 k}^{2}, \frac{1}{2 T} χ_{5 %,2 (k + 1)}^{2}]$ ...
