matflow.subset_simulation.subset_simulation.get_y_star_max_system(target_pf, dimension)#

Analytic failure threshold for a ‘weakest-link’ (series-system) toy model: the system response is the maximum over dimension iid standard normal components, so P(max(X) <= y) = Phi(y)**dimension, giving an exact threshold for a target failure probability.

Parameters:
  • target_pf (float) –

  • dimension (int) –

Return type:

float
