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.learnrtoReliaLearnRto 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 tolda()to simplify its usage. - The
TestR.learnr()function has been renamed tort()to simplify its usage. - The
RAMR.learnr()function has been renamed toram()to simplify its usage. - All references to
WeibullR.learnrin documentation and vignettes have been updated toReliaLearnR.
