General stochastic models for series multicomponent system reliability (short communication)

Multicomponent systems with known reliabilities (survival functions of the life-times) of their components are considered. Based on known either baseline or marginal survival functions of the component life-times we construct joint survival functions of random vectors of the life-times. These multivariate survival functions (here considered as system reliability models) are to be given in their general (universal) forms by means of joiners or system functions (instead of copula methodology) as a stochastic dependences determination.
