INVESTIGATIONS OF THE K--STAGE ERLANGIAN SOFTWARE RELIABILITY GROWTH MODEL

The Hausdorff approximation of the shifted Heaviside function ht0(t) by sigmoidal K–stage Erlangian growth curve based on the Khoshgoftaar’s [1] software reliability model is investigated and an expression for the error of the best approximation is obtained in this paper. The results of numerical examples confirm theoretical conclusions and they are obtained using programming environment Mathematica. We give real examples with dataset proposed in [8] using Khoshgoftaar’s model. AMS Subject Classification: 68N30, 41A46
