RISOn the Kullback Leibler Information for Mixed Systems
Entropy and Kullback-Leibler (KL) information for engineering systems have been studied in both statistical and reliability contexts. In this paper, we prove that the KL information between distributions of mixed ...
Comparisons of mixed systems with decreasing failure rate component lifetimes using dispersive order
Since lifetimes of systems are not deterministic, partially orders are used for comparison
purposes which lead us to provide optimal system configurations. This paper deals with
a signature-based dispersive ...
Expression and bounds for the entropy of coherent system
Entropy of engineering systems, as a measure of uncertainty, has been studied in statistical and reliability litera
ture. In this paper, we provide an expression for the entropy of a coherent system lifetime by using ...
Comparisons of Mixed Systems Using Mean Vitality Function
The concept of system signature is widely used for comparing of mixed (coherent) systems. In practical situations, it is usually impossible to compare mixed systems. To do this, some partial orders are considered ...
A note on signature based expressions for the entropy of mixed r-out-of-n systems
We provide an expression for the Shannon entropy of mixed r-out-of-n systems when the lifetimes of the components are independent and identically distributed. The expression gives the system’s entropy in terms of the system ...
