Hello

I have a question and I hope to find an answer here,

so as we all know several learning functions are available in the literature related to structural reliability.

Expected feasibility function EFF is one of them

EFF expresses the expectation that the actual outcome of the performance function in a point u is expected to satisfy the equality

constraint H(u) = t [Bichon et al., 2011] (t = 0 for the limit state).

High values of EFF are obtained for points having Kriging means close to the threshold t, as well as points having large Kriging variances.

my question is: how does this EFF function works ?

I don't really understand it,

why can't we just use the variance of the expectation and compare it to somme fixing minimum variance and that's all

why this equation is complicated?

Please if any one could bring me a simple explanation I would be very thankfull

Have a good day!
