Exposure variable

Exposure variable

The exposure variable, in reliability theory, is the discrete or continuous variable which differentiates distinct failure events. It is usually time, especially the time to failure of a device, or the time to death of a person. Time can be considered loosely as a hazard to which the device or person is exposed.
