Abstract

A new parametric model for common cause failure quantification in reliability analysis is described. Although formally similar to the Multiple Greek Letter model, its parameters are based on event frequencies, not on component failure frequencies. The model is defined in terms of its inputs from event data evaluation and its outputs which correspond to fault tree basic events.
