A top-down iteration algorithm for Monte Carlo method for probability estimation of a fault tree with circular logic

Calculating minimal cut sets is a typical quantification method used to evaluate the top event probability for a fault tree. If minimal cut sets cannot be calculated or if the accuracy of the quantification result is in doubt, the Monte Carlo method can provide an alternative for fault tree quantifi...
