Das Gerate- und Produktsicherheitsgesetz (GPSG) vom Mai 2004 dient dem Schutz der Verbraucher und Arbeitnehmer vor unsicheren Produkten und der Gewahrleistung des Handels mit sicheren Produkten. Es enthalt Anforderungen an die Beschaffenheit von Produkten und regelt Pflichten nach ihrem Inverkehrbringen. Der Praxis-Kommentar erlautert die Bestimmungen; im Anhang sind die wichtigsten europaischen Regelungen (Richtlinien), deutschen Rechtsverordnungen (GPSGV) und Arbeitsschutzvorschriften (BetrSichV) enthalten.

For over 200 years, practitioners have been developing parametric families of probability distributions for data analysis. More recently, an active development of nonparametric and semiparametric families has occurred. This book includes an extensive discussion of a wide variety of distribution families--nonparametric, semiparametric and parametric--some well known and some not. An all-encompassing view is taken for the purpose of identifying relationships, origins and structures of the various families. A unified methodological approach for the introduction of parameters into families is...

The development and application of multivariate statistical techniques in process monitoring has gained substantial interest over the past two decades in academia and industry alike. Initially developed for monitoring and fault diagnosis in complex systems, such techniques have been refined and applied in various engineering areas, for example mechanical and manufacturing, chemical, electrical and electronic, and power engineering. The recipe for the tremendous interest in multivariate statistical techniques lies in its simplicity and adaptability for developing monitoring applications. In...

Bayesian Reliability presents modern methods and techniques for analyzing reliability data from a Bayesian perspective. The adoption and application of Bayesian methods in virtually all branches of science and engineering have significantly increased over the past few decades. This increase is largely due to advances in simulation-based computational tools for implementing Bayesian methods.

The authors extensively use such tools throughout this book, focusing on assessing the reliability of components and systems with particular attention to hierarchical models and models...
