  • Abstract
    The manuscript presents a simple method to compute the probability of multi-component failures of any arbitrary multiplicity under the assumption that individual component failures in the system are statistically independent. In addition, the proposed method permits to determine the stratum probabilities for stratified sampling with linear complexity both in the number of components and in the number of strata.
