Abstract

In this paper, we discuss stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems with independent heterogeneous lower-truncated Weibull components. When a system with possibly different shape and scale parameters and its matrix of parameters changes to another matrix in a certain mathematical sense, we study the hazard rate order of lifetimes of series systems and the usual stochastic order of lifetimes of parallel systems.  相似文献

In this paper, we study ordering properties of lifetimes of parallel systems with two independent heterogeneous exponential components in terms of the likelihood ratio order (reversed hazard rate order) and the hazard rate order (stochastic order). We establish, among others, that the weakly majorization order between two hazard rate vectors is equivalent to the likelihood ratio order (reversed hazard rate order) between lifetimes of two parallel systems, and that the p-larger order between two hazard rate vectors is equivalent to the hazard rate order (stochastic order) between lifetimes of two parallel systems. Moreover, we extend the results to the proportional hazard rate models. The results derived here strengthen and generalize some of the results known in the literature.  相似文献

Abstract

For two components and one standby redundancy, we develop a characterization on the hazard rate order and the reversed hazard rate order of the redundant system lifetime in the context of mutually independent components lifetimes. Also, the likelihood ratio order is derived on the lifetime of the series system with two components lifetimes and two matched active redundancies lifetimes both following the proportional hazard model.  相似文献

This paper deals with series and parallel systems of dependent components equipped with starters. We study the hazard rate order, the dispersive order and the usual stochastic order of system lifetimes in the context of component lifetimes having proportional hazard rates. The main results either generalize or extend corresponding conclusions of Joo and Mi (2010) and Da, Ding, and Li (2010).  相似文献

In this article, we study the hazard rate ordering of lifetimes of two-component systems (series and parallel) by considering some bivariate distributions for the joint distribution of component lifetimes. Such that, we aim to investigate the lifetimes of systems with stochastically dependent and with stochastically independent components, the lifetimes of the components, and a stochastic ordering relation between these lifetimes. In addition to these, the mononotonicity of the hazard rates of the parallel and the series systems for the bivariate Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern (FGM) family is studied.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

In a load-sharing system, the failure of a component affects the residual lifetime of the surviving components. We propose a model for the load-sharing phenomenon in k-out-of-m systems. The model is based on exponentiated conditional distributions of the order statistics formed by the failure times of the components. For an illustration, we consider two component parallel systems with the initial lifetimes of the components having Weibull and linear failure rate distributions. We analyze one data set to show that the proposed model may be a better fit than the model based on sequential order statistics.  相似文献

Abstract

In this paper, we establish that the usual stochastic, hazard rate, reversed hazard rate, likelihood ratio, dispersive and star orders are all preserved for parallel systems under exponentiated models for lifetimes of components. We then use the multiple-outlier exponentiated gamma models to illustrate this result. Finally, we consider the dual family with exponentiated survival function and establish similar results for series systems. The results established here extend some well-known results for series and parallel systems arising from different exponentiated distributions such as generalized exponential and exponentiated Weibull, established previously in the literature.  相似文献

This note builds a sufficient condition for the hazard rate ordering between lifetimes of parallel systems with two independent components having proportional hazard rates. Some comparisons on lifetimes of such systems with general components are also obtained.  相似文献

In this paper, we discuss the usual stochastic and reversed hazard rate orders between the series and parallel systems from two sets of independent heterogeneous exponentiated Weibull components. We also obtain the results concerning the convex transform orders between parallel systems and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions under which the dispersive and usual stochastic orders, and the right spread and increasing convex orders between the lifetimes of the two systems are equivalent. Finally, in the multiple-outlier exponentiated Weibull models, based on weak majorization and p-larger orders between the vectors of scale and shape parameters, some characterization results for comparing the lifetimes of parallel and series systems are also established, respectively. The results of this paper can be used in practical situations to find various bounds for the important aging characteristics of these systems.  相似文献

In this paper, we obtain a mixture representation for the reliability function of the conditional residual lifetime of a coherent system with n independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) components under double monitoring. We suppose that at time t1, j components have failed while at time t2 the system is still alive. Based on these mixture representation, we then study stochastic comparisons of the conditional residual lifetimes of two coherent systems with independent and identical components.  相似文献

In this note, we derive some mixture representations for the reliability function of the conditional residual lifetime of a coherent system with n independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) components under the condition that at time t1 the jth failures has occurred and at time t2 the kth failures (j < k) have not occurred yet. Based on the mixture representations, we then discuss the stochastic comparisons of the conditional residual lifetimes of two coherent systems with i.i.d. components.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we first investigate some reliability properties in the proportional mean past lifetimes model. Specifically, some implications of stochastic orders and aging notions between random variables which have proportional mean past lifetimes are discussed. Then, as an extension, mixture model arising from the proportional mean past lifetimes model is introduced and preservation properties of some stochastic orders and aging notions concerning this mixture model are studied. We also study some negative dependence properties in the proposed mixture model.  相似文献

In this paper, we investigate ordering properties of lifetimes of parallel systems with two independent heterogeneous exponential components with respect to likelihood ratio and hazard rate orders. Two sufficient conditions are provided for likelihood ratio and hazard rate orders to hold between the lifetimes of two parallel systems, respectively. Moreover, we extend the results from exponential case to the proportional hazard rate models. The results established here strength some of the results known in the literature. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results derived here as well.  相似文献

In this paper, we investigate ordering properties of lifetimes of parallel systems with two independent heterogeneous exponential components in terms of the mean residual life order. We establish, among others, that the reciprocal majorization order between parameter vectors implies the mean residual life order between the lifetimes of two parallel systems. We then extend this result to the proportional hazard rate models.  相似文献

Which component is most important for a system's survival? We answer this question by ranking the information relationship between a system and its components. The mutual information (M) measures dependence between the operational states of the system and a component for a mission time as well as between their life lengths. This measure ranks each component in terms of its expected utility for predicting the system's survival. We explore some relationships between the ordering of importance of components by M and by Zellner's Maximal Data Information (MDIP) criterion. For many systems the bivariate distribution of the component and system lifetimes does not have a density with respect to the two-dimensional Lebesgue measure. For these systems, M is not defined, so we use a modification of a mutual information index to cover such situations. Our results for ordering dependence are general in terms of binary structures, sum of random variables, and order statistics.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Let T1: n ? T2: n ? ??? ? Tn: n be ordered lifetimes of components of a parallel system. In this article, the α-quantile past lifetime from the failure of the component with lifetime Tr: n provided that the system has failed at or before time t has been introduced. Then, some properties of this measure have been studied.  相似文献

Abstract

This paper provides an extension for “sequential order statistics” (SOS) introduced by Kamps. It is called “developed sequential order statistics” (DSOS) and is useful for describing lifetimes of engineering systems when component lifetimes are dependent. Explicit expressions for the joint density function, the marginal distributions and the means of DSOS are derived. Under the well known “conditional proportional hazard rate” (CPHR) model and the Gumbel families of copulas for dependency among component lifetimes, some findings are reported. For example, it is proved that the joint density functions of DSOS and SOS have the same structure. Various illustrative examples are also given.  相似文献

Consider two parallel systems with their independent components’ lifetimes following heterogeneous exponentiated generalized gamma distributions, where the heterogeneity is in both shape and scale parameters. We then obtain the usual stochastic (reversed hazard rate) order between the lifetimes of two systems by using the weak submajorization order between the vectors of shape parameters and the p-larger (weak supermajorization) order between the vectors of scale parameters, under some restrictions on the involved parameters. Further, by reducing the heterogeneity of parameters in each system, the usual stochastic (reversed hazard rate) order mentioned above is strengthened to the hazard rate (likelihood ratio) order. Finally, two characterization results concerning the comparisons of two parallel systems, one with independent heterogeneous generalized exponential components and another with independent homogeneous generalized exponential components, are derived. These characterization results enable us to find some lower and upper bounds for the hazard rate and reversed hazard rate functions of a parallel system consisting of independent heterogeneous generalized exponential components. The results established here generalize some of the known results in the literature, concerning the comparisons of parallel systems under generalized exponential and exponentiated Weibull models.  相似文献

We study here a general load-sharing parallel system in which the lifetimes of the components of the system are arbitrary continuous random variables. The system functions if at least one component in the system functions and the surviving unit shares the whole load. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the usual stochastic order between two different load-sharing systems. We then consider the optimal allocation problem of one load standby in a series system with two independent components. Finally, the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters for some specific systems is discussed.  相似文献
