The reliability of exchangeable binary systems

Assuming that the components of a system are Bernoulli and positive dependent by mixture, we can estimate the reliability of a k-out-of-n:F system, a consecutive k-out-of-n:F system and a circular consecutive k-out-of-n:F system by using canonical moments.
