Moment inequalities for the reliability function

Bo Henry Lindqvist

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1992, vol. 13, issue 2, 85-88

Abstract: We consider a binary system with n binary components and random component reliabilities. An upper bound for the mth moment (m [greater-or-equal, slanted] 2) of the system reliability function is derived, using a stochastic domination argument.
