Abstract

Uncertain random variables are tools to deal with a mixture of uncertainty and randomness. A new concept of order statistics associated with uncertain random variables is proposed, and is applied to analyze k-out-of-n systems with uncertain random lifetimes. The chance distributions of order statistics of uncertain random variables are derived from the operational law of uncertain random variables. Finally, the reliability of k-out-of-n systems with uncertain random lifetimes is discussed.
