The Reliability of k Out of n Systems.
Abstract
A system with n independent components which function if and only if at least k of the components function is a k out of n system. Parallel systems are 1 out of n systems and series systems are n our of n systems. If p = (P sub 1, ..., P sub n) is the vector of component reliabilities for the n components, then h sub k (p) is the reliability function of the system.
