We consider a series system with p components
where the failure rate of each component depends on the
residual number of defects present. Successive tasks are
given to the system with each task completion time independent
of each component failure time. Based on the outcomes over
a fixed testing period, the asymptotic properties of the
estimators of the component parameters, task completion
parameters, and eventual system reliability are obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
