Abstract

In reliability theory, a combination of two distributions failure rate model for reliability studies is paid much attention.

1. Introduction

In reliability studies, combinations of components forming series, parallel and k out of n systems are quite popular. The reliability probabilities of such systems are evaluated either by the system as a whole or through the reliability probabilities of the components that define the system. It is well known that in a series system of a finite number of components with independent life time random, the system reliability is equal to the product of the component reliabilities.
If respectively indicate the failure density, failure probability and failure rate of a component with life time random variable x, then we know that the reliability is given by,
(1)
Where
(2)
If a series system has two component with independent but non-identical life patterns explained by two distinct random variables say and with respective failure densities, failure probabilities and failure rates as , then the system reliability is given by,
(3)
From the above expression we can get the failure density and the failure rate of the series system whose reliability is given by (3), such models are already studied in the past with different choices of and by Rao, Nagendram and Rosaiah (2013), Rao, Kantam, Rosaiah and Baba (2013) [4] and Rosaiah, Nagarjuna, Kumar and Rao (2014) [3]. In this paper a combination of and some other distributions will studied.

2. MOEU Distribution and Its Properties

Marshall and Olkin (1997) [2] introduced a new family of distributions in an attempt to add a parameter to a family of distributions. Let be the reliability function of a random variable X and be a parameter. Then
(4)

(5)
where is the p.d.f. corresponding to . The hazard (failure) rate function is given by
where .
Now, Let X follows distribution, where . Then . Substituting in (1) we get a new distribution denoted by MOEU with reliability function [1].
(6)
The corresponding pdf is obtained as
(7)
and the corresponding cumulative distribution function is,
(8)
Note that is the shape parameter and is the scale parameter of the distribution. The hazard rate function of a random variable X with MOEU distribution is
(9)
The higher-order moments is [1],
(10)
Specially, the mean and the variance of a random variable X with MOEU distribution are, respectively [1], .
So, the coefficient of variation is, . The quantile of a random variable X with MOEU distribution is given by [1],
, Where is the inverse distribution function.
The median is , and the mode is . The skewness is
and the kurtosis is
In the following sections we will derive Some additive failure rate models related with MOEU distribution.

11. Summary and Conclusions

In spite of the great importance of the uniform distribution uses, but unfortunately the form of the distribution and its properties reduced the distribution applications, especially in real life. This issue has made us think to construct other distributions based on the uniform distribution, So that the new distributions have flexible forms and properties to represent a lot of other applications.
A combination of (Marshall-Olkin Extended Uniform distribution) MOEU model and every one of some probability models are developed on lines of the well known linear failure rate model .We derive here the additive failure rate model of MOEU and every one of MOEU , MOEU , uniform , truncated exponential , truncated Weibull , truncated Frechet , truncated Rayleigh , truncated Cauchy and truncated Gumbel distributions.
