Evaluations of quantiles of system lifetime distributions

Author

  • Rychlik, Tomasz

Abstract

For each coherent and mixed system with exchangeable components, we provide sharp bounds on the deviations of system lifetime distribution quantiles from the respective quantiles of single component lifetime distributions. The bounds are expressed in the scale units generated by the absolute moments of various orders of the component lifetime centered about the median of its distribution.
