Algorithm to Evaluate the Failure Density Function of a K - out - of N : G System
نویسنده
چکیده
An expression for probability density function ( pdf ) of a K out of N : G system is proposed. A simple, fast and memory efficient recursive algorithm computes the pdf of K out of N : G system with unequal component failure probabilities. The special cases of constant failure rate, Weibull failure time distributions are provided for illustrating the results.
