Description:
Maximum likelihood estimation of component lifetime parameters from system-level observations of k-out-of-n systems. Supports exponential and Weibull component distributions under multiple observation schemes: Scheme 0 (system lifetime only), Scheme 1 (periodic inspection), and Scheme 2 (complete monitoring). Provides an EM algorithm for Weibull parallel systems and Fisher information comparison across schemes. The k-out-of-n framework unifies series (k=1) and parallel (k=m) systems as a censoring problem on component lifetimes. Conforms to the 'likelihood.model' generics and returns fitted objects compatible with 'algebraic.mle'. The data-generating process and topology infrastructure (system survival, density, signature, structure function, importance measures) are delegated to the 'dist.structure' package; 'kofn' focuses exclusively on inference for the k-out-of-n family.
