Abstract

We consider a series system with p components where the failure rate of each component depends on the residual number of defects present. Successive tasks are given to the system with each task completion time independent of each component failure time. Based on the outcomes over a fixed testing period, the asymptotic properties of the estimators of the component parameters, task completion parameters, and eventual system reliability are obtained.
