System signature

Description

Samaniego's signature: ⁠s = (s_1, ..., s_m)⁠ where s_k is the probability the system fails at the k-th component failure under i.i.d. absolutely-continuous component lifetimes. Only depends on the structure (phi), not on the component distribution. A default method on dist_structure enumerates the ⁠m!⁠ orderings; this is feasible for m up to about 8 or 9. Specialized subclasses should override with closed-form expressions.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dist_structure'
system_signature(x)

system_signature(x)

Arguments

x

A dist_structure object.

Value

Numeric vector of length ncomponents(x) summing to 1.
