consecutive_k_dist: Consecutive-k-out-of-n system distribution (type G)

In dist.structure: Structured Random Variables for Reliability System Distributions

Consecutive-k-out-of-n system distribution (type G)

Description

The consecutive-k-out-of-n:G system functions when at least one block of k consecutive components all function. Minimal path sets are the n - k + 1 consecutive blocks of size k. (Note: this is the :G variant; the :F variant, "fails when any k consecutive fail", has different minimal paths.)

Usage

consecutive_k_dist(k, components)

Arguments

k	Block size.
components	List of dist objects (length n).

Value

A consecutive_k_dist inheriting from coherent_dist.
