Abstract
For a system with i.i.d. component lifetimes the Samaniego signature can be computed for instance from Boland’s formula, which requires the knowledge of every value of the associated structure function. We show how the signature can be computed more efficiently from the diagonal section of the reliability function via derivatives.
