However, the conventional reliability analysis is performed under the implicit assumption of homogeneity, which can result in distortion of the corresponding reliability indices and various misconceptions. \u003ci\u003eStochastic Modeling for Reliability \u003c\/i\u003efills this gap and presents the basics and further developments of reliability theory for heterogeneous populations. Specifically, the authors consider burn-in as a method of elimination of ‘weak’ items from heterogeneous populations. The real life objects are operating in a changing environment. One of the ways to model an impact of this environment is \u003ci\u003evia \u003c\/i\u003ethe external shocks occurring in accordance with some stochastic point processes. The basic theory for Poisson shock processes is developed and also shocks as a method of burn-in and of the environmental stress screening for manufactured items areconsidered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStochastic Modeling for Reliability \u003c\/i\u003eintroduces and explores the concept of burn-in in heterogeneous populations and its recent development, providing a sound reference for reliability engineers, applied mathematicians, product managers and manufacturers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Maxim Finkelstein\u003c\/b\u003e received his M.Sc degree in Mathematical Physics from Leningrad State University (1971), Ph.D in OR from Leningrad Elektropribor Institute, 1979 and Doctor of Science degree (habilitation) in OR from St.-Petersburg Elektropribor Institute (1993).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     Currently he is a Senior Professor at the Department of Mathematical Statistics, University of the Free State, Republic of South Africa and a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     His main research interests are: reliability theory and applications, survival analysis, risk and safety modelling, applied stochastic processes.
