On the residual lifelengths of the remaining components in an $n - k+1$ out of $n$ system. (English)
[J] Stat. Probab. Lett. 78, No. 8, 945-952 (2008). ISSN 0167-7152

Summary: Suppose that a system consists of $n$ independent components and that the lifelength of the $i$\,th component is a random variable $X_i$ $(i=1,2,\dots, n)$. For $k\in \{1,2,\dots ,n - 1\}$, denote by $X_1^{(k)},X_2^{(k)},\dots ,X_{n-k}^{(k)}$ the residual lifelengths of the remaining functioning components following the $k$\,th failure in the system. We discuss the joint distribution of these exchangeable random variables. In addition, we identify the conditions sufficient to guarantee the independence of the residual lifelengths.
