Bounds on System Risk Function Induced by Subsystems
System performance can be measured by means of loss functions and risk functions. Inequalities are derived which provide upper and lower bounds on the total system risk function in terms of the more readily evaluated individual subsystem risk functions. Bounds are given for the cases in which the members of an arbitrary collection of interconnected subsystems are either statistically independent or dependent in operation.

This report is part of the RAND Corporation paper series. The paper was a product of the RAND Corporation from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
