Distribution-Free Tolerance Bounds for the Lifetime of an M-Out-of-K System of Components

摘要

Distribution-free tolerance bounds are obtained for the life time of an m-out-of-k system of unlike components. It is assumed that the life time distributions of the k components belong to a stochastically order family of distributions. Two criteria are used to determine the tolerance bounds. These criteria are extensions of the criteria used in a single population literature. (Author)
