1. A method of performing reliability analysis for a population of units, the method comprising:
- determining a number of units in operation;
generating suspension population data based on a suspension representation, wherein generating the suspension population data includes generating a simulated suspension population that has a population size equal to the number of units in operation;
accessing failure data associated with the population of units;
performing reliability analysis for the population of units based at least in part on the generated suspension population data and the failure data; and
providing a result of the reliability analysis to a user.
