Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for transferring environmental adaptability indicators based on Box-Cox transform. It is a method for transferring environmental adaptability indicators from components to system-level environmental adaptability indicators. First, based on the system structure, the environmental maladaptation function of the system is obtained from component data. Then, simulated system-level product environmental failure data is obtained through Monte Carlo sampling. Based on this, the prior distribution of the system is approximated using Box-Cox transform. Next, the posterior distribution of the system is updated according to Bayesian theory, thereby realizing the transfer of environmental adaptability indicators. This method is applicable to fields such as multi-level product environmental adaptability indicator transfer and evaluation. Background Technology

[0002] For complex equipment systems, limitations such as time and economic constraints make it difficult to conduct large-scale environmental tests, hindering the provision of sufficient statistical data for environmental adaptability analysis. This results in low accuracy and limited application scope for system environmental adaptability indicators. In contrast, component-level environmental test data is abundant, leading to more accurate environmental adaptability assessments. Therefore, environmental adaptability indicators for system-level products can be obtained from component-level data. However, traditional multi-level indicator transfer methods, such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), are simplistic and crude in their weight allocation, lacking scientific basis and failing to effectively integrate multi-level, multi-source data, thus affecting the accuracy and rationality of indicator transfer. The Box-Cox transformation can handle complex data types and unify different distributions into a normal distribution, while Bayesian theory can effectively achieve the fusion and updating of data at different levels. This provides a new approach for the transfer and evaluation of multi-level product environmental adaptability indicators.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention proposes an environmental adaptability index transfer method based on Box-Cox transformation. First, the environmental maladaptation function of the system is obtained from the component data according to the system structure. Based on the simulation sampling, the prior distribution of the system is approximated by Box-Cox transformation. Then, Bayesian theory is used to update the prior distribution, thereby realizing the transfer and evaluation of multi-level product environmental adaptability indexes. Summary of the Invention
