Abstract

A non-homogeneous Poisson shock model has a continuous mean function Λ(t). The kth shock Sk causes simultaneous failure of the components j ∊ J ∊ {1, ···, n} with probability pJ(Sk). If Tj is the lifetime of component j, it is shown that (T1, · ··, Tn) belongs to various multivariate non-parametric life classes depending on the life class of .
