    Dynamic Modeling of General Three-State k-out-of-n< Systems: Permanent-Based Computational Results
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Xie, Min
    This paper is concerned with dynamic reliability analysis of three-state k-out-of-n:G systems. It is assumed that the components and the systems can be in three states: perfect functioning, partial performance and complete failure. Using the concept of permanent, we study marginal and joint survival functions for the lifetime of two different three-state k-out-of-n:G systems that consist of independent and nonidentical components. Illustrative examples are also provided for the components which follow the Markov degradation process. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    On the Sums of Distributions of Order Statistics From Exchangeable Random Variables
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this paper, we obtain an expression between the sums of the marginal distributions of the order statistics and the common marginal distribution of an exchangeable random sequence. We also derive an expression between the sums of the joint distribution of two order statistics and the two dimensional joint distribution of an exchangeable random sequence. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

    Component Importance in Coherent Systems With Exchangeable Components
    (Applied Probability Trust, 2015) Eryilmaz,S.
    This paper is concerned with the Birnbaum importance measure of a component in a binary coherent system. A representation for the Birnbaum importance of a component is obtained when the system consists of exchangeable dependent components. The results are closely related to the concept of the signature of a coherent system. Some examples are presented to illustrate the results. © 2015 Applied Probability Trust.
