Computing system signatures through reliability functions
2013
Statistics and Probability Letters
Due to a result by Owen, this index can be computed efficiently by integrating the first derivatives of the reliability function of the system along the main diagonal of the unit hypercube. ...
We show how the signature can be computed more efficiently from the diagonal section of the reliability function via derivatives. ...
Similarly to Owen's method, in this note we provide a way to compute the signature of the system only from the reliability function of the structure, thus avoiding Boland's formula (2) which requires the ...
