We consider dynamic versions of the mutual information of lifetime distributions, with a focus on past lifetimes, residual lifetimes, and mixed lifetimes evaluated at different instants. This allows us to study multicomponent systems, by measuring the dependence in conditional lifetimes of two components having possibly different ages. We provide some bounds, and investigate the mutual information of residual lifetimes within the time-transformed exponential model (under both the assumptions of unbounded and truncated lifetimes). Moreover, with reference to the order statistics of a random sample, we evaluate explicitly the mutual information between the minimum and the maximum, conditional on inspection at different times, and show that it is distribution-free in a special case. Finally, we develop a copula-based approach aiming to express the dynamic mutual information for past and residual bivariate lifetimes in an alternative way.

ABSTRACTThe nature of the percolation process in granular metals is examined for the first time by a computer simulation of a system of metallic grains embedded in an insulating matrix. Assuming that the intergrain conduction is due to quantum mechanical tunneling it is found that a percolation-like critical behavior of the conductivity is obtained, but that a percolation universal behavior will be found only in a very special case. In contrast, the behavior of the electrical noise does not deviate substantially from the universal one. Comparison of these results with recent experimental observations suggests that in the metallic range, both transport properties are controlled by the continuous metallic network rather than by intergrain tunnelin.. We propose that the metallic network resembles the previously studied system of ‘inverted random voids’.
