Methods of decision theory as a way to increase the reliability of assessment of the technical systems state

   The article discusses various approaches to technical diagnostics based on decision-making methods. Particular attention is paid to probabilistic and statistical methods that help to make informed decisions, taking into account the likelihood of certain functions being performed. The study shows that the choice of a specific technique depends on the specific problem being considered. Bayesian methods are efficient and easy to calculate, which makes them popular for industrial applications in assessing technical condition. For high-risk systems the article recommends to apply the Wald method.
