On modular decompositions of system signatures

Considering a semicoherent system made up of n components having i.i.d. continuous lifetimes, Samaniego defined its structural signature as the n-tuple whose kth coordinate is the probability that the kth component failure causes the system to fail. This n-tuple, which depends only on the structure of the system and not on the distribution of the component lifetimes, is a very useful tool in the theoretical analysis of coherent systems.
