Ordering conditional general coherent systems with exchangeable components

Abstract This paper investigates some ordering properties of the residual lives and the inactivity times of coherent systems with dependent exchangeable absolutely continuous components, based on the stochastically ordered signatures between systems, extending the results of Li and Zhang [2008. Some stochastic comparisons of conditional coherent systems. Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry 24, 541–549] for the case of independent and identically distributed components.
