Abstract
Describes a simple algorithm which has been developed for determining exact moments of top event failure probability from the moments of the basic events in a fault tree. This method requires neither Taylor series expansion of top event failure probability function nor its partial derivates to find these moments. This method has subsequently extended to systems with multistate components. Describes a general algorithm for the purpose. Provides several illustrations to highlight its usefulness.
