Branch and Fathom: A Technique for Computing Functions on the Power of a Set of a Set

Article Abstract:

Tree trasversal algorthms are frequently used for ordering operations on sets. A tree structure and transversal scheme which is applied to the computation of a reliability measure is described. The key to this variation is a particular labeling of the enumeration tree which locates supersets of set S in one subtree of the node labeled with S. Exact computation by simple techniques is considerably more time-consuming than the branch and fathom technique, which may also be useful in computing other functions on the power set of a set.

Effects of False and Incomplete Identification of Defective Items on the Reliability of Acceptance Sampling

Article Abstract:

The consequences of classifying items as defective on the properties of two-stage acceptance sampling procedures are studied. Sensitivity to inspection error is included. Extra costs for better inspection techniques when initial grading is inconclusive are studied. Tables of numerical acceptance probabilities are included.
