Taylor Series

TaylorSeries is a class that calculates the reliability of a model using the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), Inverse First Order Reliability Method (InverseFORM) or Second Order Reliability Method (SORM) based on the first-order and second-order Taylor series expansion approximation of the performance function, respectively ([14], [15], [16]).

The TaylorSeries class is the parent class of the FORM, InverseFORM, and SORM classes that perform the FORM, InverseFORM, and SORM, respectively. These classes can be imported in a python script using the following command:

>>> from UQpy.reliability.taylor_series import FORM, InverseFORM, SORM

• FORM
• InverseFORM
• SORM
