Abstract

The major subjects covered in this chapter revolve around the following topics: – Deductive reasoning needs a precise description of the intended objects of study and we begin with discussing the physical models of systems. – The concept of entropy is very prolific in science [1] and this chapter will put forward the Boltzmann-like entropy as an innovative mathematical tool to calculate the systems’ hazard rate. We recall that Shannon’s entropy is used in a broad variety of research areas but here we shall introduce a new form of entropy that has nothing to do with the concepts of information and noise.
