"most probable point" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to describe something that is likely or probable, such as a conclusion drawn from facts. For example, "After reviewing all the evidence, the most probable point is that the defendant is guilty."
A new simulation method presented by authors to approximate the failure probability and most probable point.
First, the most probable focal element (MPFE), an important concept as the most probable point (MPP) in probability-theory-based reliability analysis, is searched using a uniformity approach.
In this paper, a new simulation method for approximating the probability of failure and the most probable point of failure is proposed.
This paper presents a new univariate method employing the most probable point as the reference point for predicting failure probability of structural and mechanical systems subject to random loads, material properties, and geometry.
Since the point that has most probability is the point that has the minimum standard deviation (Wallace 2005), the most probable point has minimum geometrical distance from the origin in U-space to any point on g(U) = 0.
In these circumstances, it is difficult to determine the most probable point for the laser line.
A new multi-point univariate decomposition method is presented for structural reliability analysis involving multiple most probable points (MPPs).
The Ditlevsen's bounds of system probability of failure are also computed by taking into account the correlations between three failure modes, which is evaluated using the direction cosines of the tangent planes at the most probable points of failure.
Since the imbedded fastPMA needs the gradient calculations and the initial guesses of the most probable points (MPPs), their proposed algorithm would encounter difficulties in dealing with non-differentiable constraints and the effectiveness could be degraded significantly as the initial guesses are far from the true MPPs.
The solution of this problem converges to the failure point nearest to the space origin, known as design point or the most probable failure point P*.
First, the most probable highest point near a crossover point was selected manually.
