Abstract
There are several measures of the importance of a component within a s ystem in determining system reliability; these measures include struct ural importance, marginal reliability-importance, joint reliability-im portance, and link importance. These measures are reviewed and then re lated to each other. Extensions are proposed to each importance measur e to cover reliability models in which the components have two failure -modes rather than the conventional one failure-mode; these extensions have properties similar to those in the one failure-mode model.
