Tsallis Entropy of a Used Reliability System at the System Level.

Measuring the uncertainty of the lifetime of technical systems has become increasingly important in recent years. This criterion is useful to measure the predictability of a system over its lifetime. In this paper, we assume a coherent system consisting of components and having a property where at time t, all components of the system are alive. We then apply the system signature to determine and use the Tsallis entropy of the remaining lifetime of a coherent system. It is a useful criterion for measuring the predictability of the lifetime of a system. Various results, such as bounds and order properties for the said entropy, are investigated. The results of this work can be used to compare the predictability of the remaining lifetime between two coherent systems with known signatures.
