Estimation in a semi-Markov transformation model.
Semi-Markov and modulated renewal processes provide a large class of multi-state models which can be used for analysis of longitudinal failure time data. In biomedical applications, models of this kind are often used to describe evolution of a disease and assume that patient may move among a finite number of states representing different phases in the disease progression. Several authors propos...
متن کاملReliability Measures of Semi-Markov Systems with General State Space
The aim of this paper is to present a systematic modeling of reliability and related measures: availability, maintainability, failure rate, rate of occurrence of failures, mean times, etc., known in the literature under the term dependability. This model includes the continuous and discrete time semi-Markov processes with general state space. This is one of the most general models in reliabilit...
متن کاملA Compound Dependability Measure Arising from Semi-markov Reliability Model
A compound dependability measure is proposed and analyzed under the Markovian assumption by Csenki (1996). We ext,end his analysis to the semi-Markov setting and obtain the corresponding closed form expression. The analysis is quite simple and transform-free. The resulting formula has a clear probabilistic interpretation. As a numerical example, we explore the behavior of a multi-mode system wi...
متن کاملEstimation of Software Reliability Growth Model Parameters
Software reliability growth models only become useful if it is possible to estimate their parameters. However, the parameter estimation is normally done numerically, and hence a substantial amount of data is all too often needed. This need is often not fulfilled by modern development processes, for example incremental development and agile methods. This position paper identifies three alternati...
متن کاملEstimation with Right-Censored Observations Under A Semi-Markov Model.
The semi-Markov process often provides a better framework than the classical Markov process for the analysis of events with multiple states. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we show that in the presence of right censoring, when the right end-point of the support of the censoring time is strictly less than the right end-point of the support of the semi-Markov kernel, the transition p...
