Statistical inference for dependent stress–strength reliability of multi-state system using generalized survival signature

In reliability analysis of the stress–strength models, it is generally assumed that an individual only has one type of strength. However, in some situation, an individual, which has several types of independent or dependent strengths, is subjected several types of independent stresses in the working environment. Hence, we define a new multi-state stress–strength model for multi-state system consisting of n multi-state components with several …
