“The range of values for R and D are assumed to be represented by lognormal distribution curves (See Figure 1).”
“The equations for f and a are derived using the lognormal distribution curve S (Figure 2) along with statistical mathematics and algebra.”
“A convenient way to assess the probability of failure (D R) is to consider a single lognormal distribution curve called the safety margin or S, where S = R – D (see Figure 2).”
“A piece of supporting evidence is that several evolutionary mechanismstend to be stochastic processes, whichmeans their behaviour could be potentially represented by distribution curves (normal, lognormal, or other).”
