Abstract
Statistical analysis of standby systems with more than two units has received little attention because of mathematical intricacies involved in analyzing them. Also, such systems have been studied assuming the lifetime and repair time of the units to be independent. The present article is an attempt to study certain inferential aspects of a three unit hot standby system with dependent structure, assuming quadrivariate exponential distribution for the lifetimes of online unit, standby units and the repair time of a failed unit.
