A new competing risk model is proposed to calculate the Conditional Mean Residual Life (CMRL) and Conditional Reliability Function (CRF) of a system subject to two dependent failure modes, namely, degradation failure and catastrophic failure. The degradation process can be represented by a three-sta...
