| Abstract: | A method of estimating the probability density function and cumulative distribution function when only the ordinary or central moments of the distribution are known is examined. The technique is used in conjunction with previous work which yields the ordinary moments of time to first passage failure to obtain accurate estimates of the failure probability for two representative oscillators. The results are then compared to those obtained by a nearly exact numerical scheme. |
