Abstract
In this paper we discuss how to implement a Bayesian thinking for multistate reliability analysis. The Bayesian paradigm comprises a unified and consistent framework for analysing and expressing reliability, but in our view the standard Bayesian procedures gives too much emphasis on probability models and inference on fictional parameters. We believe that there is a need for a rethinking on how to implement the Bayesian approach, and in this paper we present and discuss such a rethinking for multistate reliability analysis. The starting point of the analysis should be observable quantities, expressing states of the world, not fictional parameters.
