ReliaLearnR 0.5

CRAN release: 2026-05-27

New Features

  • New rbd() tutorial covering Reliability Block Diagrams and system reliability, including series, parallel, mixed, and k-out-of-n configurations, system MTTF calculation, and an introduction to Fault Tree Analysis — with 4 code exercises and 12 quiz questions.
  • New rs() tutorial covering Repairable Systems Analysis, including Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process (NHPP) modeling, Mean Cumulative Function (MCF) estimation, and failure prediction.
  • Added a companion book to supplement the interactive tutorials.

Improvements

  • All tutorials deepened with more exercises and quiz questions:
    • RAM: Added an interactive failure rate (λ) slider, a Weibull bridge section, and 3 new exercises on series/parallel system reliability.
    • LDA: Added an Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit section with 2 quiz questions and a model comparison exercise; 2 additional code exercises.
    • RS: Added 3 code exercises covering NHPP fitting, MCF plotting, and failure prediction.
    • RT: Added 3 code exercises covering Duane plotting, RGA, and the Arrhenius acceleration factor.
  • NHPP tutorial updated to a MCF-first workflow for a more intuitive learning progression.
  • Added DiagrammeR-based visual diagrams to the RBD tutorial.

ReliaLearnR 0.3 (Formerly WeibullR.learnr)

CRAN release: 2026-01-06

Breaking Changes

  • The package has been renamed from WeibullR.learnr to ReliaLearnR to better reflect its broader focus on reliability engineering topics beyond just Weibull analysis.
  • All functions and tutorials have been updated to use the new package name ReliaLearnR.
  • The WeibullR.learnr() function has been renamed to lda() to simplify its usage.
  • The TestR.learnr() function has been renamed to rt() to simplify its usage.
  • The RAMR.learnr() function has been renamed to ram() to simplify its usage.
  • All references to WeibullR.learnr in documentation and vignettes have been updated to ReliaLearnR.
