The area of Reliability has become a very important and active area of research. This is clearly evident from the large body of literature that has been developed in the form of books, volumes and research papers since 1988 when the previousHandbook of Statistics on this area was prepared by P.R. Krishnaiah and C.R. Rao. This is the reason we felt that this is indeed the right time to dedicate another volume in the Handbook of Statistics series to highlight some recent advances in the area of Reliability. With this purpose in mind, we solicited articles from leading experts working in the area of Reliability from both academia and industry. This, in our opinion, has resulted in a volume with a nice blend of articles (33 in total) dealing with theoretical, methodological and applied issues in Reliability. For the convenience of readers, we have divided this volume into 13 parts as follows: Reliability Models Life Distributions Reliability Properties Reliability Systems Progressive Censoring Analysis for Repairable Systems Analysis for Masked Data Analysis for Warranty Data Accelerated Testing Destructive Testing Test Plans Software Reliability Inferential Methods We hope that this broad coverage of the area of Reliability will not only provide the readers with a general overview of the area, but also explain to them what the current state is in each of the topics listed above.
