About this book
Reviews
MATLAB codes provided in the appendix of the book enhance its usefulness for a serious minded researcher who likes to go in depth into the study of MSS.
The book is a stand alone resource and does not require any prior knowledge on the part of a reader. This feature is likely to be appreciated by beginners who are being initiated to MSS reliability analysis. This feature will be particularly useful to the practicing engineers and managers who do not have time to look around and search all the supporting resources. The reviewer feels that this book would also be found useful for researchers, students and teachers.
