A Fortran List Processor (Flip), Karl A. Fugal
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A series of Basic Assembler Language subroutines were developed and made available to the FORTRAN IV language processor which makes list processing possible in a flexible and easily understood way.
The subroutine will create and maintain list structures in the computer's core storage. The subroutines are sufficiently general to permit FORTRAN programmers to tailor list processing routines to their own individual requirements. List structure sizes are limited only by the amount of core storage available.

Bayesian Estimate Of System Reliability, Naresh Shah
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A Bayesian estimate of reliability for each component in the system of n-components, each exponentially distributed, is developed which utilizes the basic notion of loss in estimation theory. Here we assume that each component is independently distributed. In reliability estimation, the loss associated with overestimation is usually greater than the loss associated with underestimation; and hence loss function can be a very useful tool. The prior distribution and loss function of reliability considered in this paper are flexible to be compatible with other situations in which reliability estimates are required. When the loss function is symmetric and no prior information …
