TY - JOUR T1 - Impact of Operations on a Series per Reliability Perspective AU - Yucesan, Ongun PY - 2025 DA - February Y2 - 2025 DO - 10.30518/jav.1475257 JF - Journal of Aviation JO - JAV PB - Vedat Veli ÇAY WT - DergiPark SN - 2587-1676 SP - 1 EP - 4 VL - 9 IS - 1 LA - en AB - The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) figures are the average of test durations between failure observations formed into a series. They can be seen to suit classical statistical distributions. An equally possible condition is that they are not stationary as a contradiction to the previous statement. In such worse conditions accepting availability of a concealed statistical property, this paper tries to identify the impact of Bi-sample Differencing and Bi-sample mean manipulations. In other words, operating on reliability observations series to reveal concealed statistical knowledge. Experimentation based on observation over a stationary series as a controlled experiment. As an outcome of experiments, the differencing seems to be alleviating the trend and seasonality to a degree. The bi-sample averaging is observed to be hiding variant conditions.
