A Proposed Measure of Residual Life of Live Components of a Coherent System
Abstract
The concept of the signature of a coherent system is useful to study the stochastic and aging properties of the system. Let $X_{1:n},X_{2:n},\ldots,X_{n:n}$ denote the ordered lifetimes of the components of a coherent system consisting of $n$ i.i.d components. If $T$ denotes the lifetime of the system, then the signature vector of the system is defined to be a probability vector ${\bf s}=(s_{1},s_{2},\ldots,s_{n})$ such that …
