A system composed from independent parallel components is considered and its resistance against an increasing load is modelled. Failures of components are regarded as the events of corresponding counting processes, in the framework of statistical survival analysis. The objective is to estimate the distribution of breaking strengths of components, to predict the breaking strength of the system, and to compare such a prediction, by statistical tests, with observed data.
