Aging Properties of the Remaining Components of n-k+1 out of n Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

This note investigates the residual lives of the remaining components of an (n-k+1) out of n system with independent and identical components after the kth failure has been observed. Some aging properties and stochastic comparisons on the residual life are obtained.
