The distributions of coherent systems with components with exchangeable lifetimes can be represented as mixtures of distributions of order statistics (k-out-of-n systems) from possibly dependent samples by using the concept of the signature of Samaniego (1985). This representation, together with Rychlik's (1993) results, can be used to obtain sharp bounds on the distribution (or the reliability) function and on the expected lifetime of the system. Also, this representation can be used to determine the asymptotic behavior of the hazard rate of the system when the order statistics are ordered in the hazard rate order. Moreover, the lifetime distributions of coherent systems (and in particular, of order statistics) can also be represented as generalized mixtures (that is, mixtures with some negative weights) of distributions of series system lifetimes by using the concept of the minimal signature defined by Navarro et al. (2007a). This representation can also be used to determine the final behavior of the hazard rate of the system through the behavior of the hazard rate of the series systems. In particular, it can be used to show that the order statistics are, under some conditions, asymptotically hazard rate ordered. However, in general, this result is not true, that is, the order statistics need not be hazard rate ordered. |
