This section considers the vulnerability assessment problem: given a complex network and a class of failures of interest, does there exist an attack which causes the system to experience such failure?
Briefly, the sub-distribution for the failures of interest are given by: (5) which is a unit exponential mixture with mass 1 - p at ∞ when X = 0, and uses the proportional subdistribution hazards model to obtain the subdistribution for nonzero covariate values.
