摘      要：It is hard for the existing methods to obtain the expression of the system reliability for most of the practical complex systems with a large number of components and possible stales. A new regression algorithm based on the lower and upper bounds is presented in this paper, which can obtain the system reliability analytically without concerning the structure of the complex system. The method has been applied to a real system and the reliability results are compared with those acquired by the classical method and the parametric method. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method have been testified.
