Component importance in coherent systems with exchangeable components
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2016
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the Birnbaum importance measure of a component in a binary coherent system. A representation for the Birnbaum importance of a component is obtained when the system consists of exchangeable dependent components. The results are closely related to the concept of the signature of a coherent system. Some examples are presented to illustrate the results.
