Fault Trees for Risk and Reliability Analysis

Description

A package for constructing,calculating and displaying fault trees.

Introduction

FaultTree provides functions for building tree structures as dataframe objects. The fault tree incorporates logic nodes (primarily AND and OR) which process input and may direct output "upwards" through the tree structure. Data is entered through component entries. Component event entries may be active (failures immediately revealed) or dormant (failures remain hidden until activation or inspection). The fault tree may also accept pure probability or pure demand input components.
