Chapter 8 SEMI - MARKOV PROCESS
نویسنده
چکیده
In many (if not most) real-world applications, the arrival of customers to a service center is not well described by renewal processses. Quite often, the times between successive arrivals are correlated, whereas renewal processes have independent interarrival times. A natural generalization is the class of semiMarkov processes (SMP), which when specifically applied to the arrival of customers are called Markov Renewal Processes (MRP) or Markov Arrival Processes (MAP). Of course arrivals to one station correspond to departures from some other station. So, to avoid confusion, we use the terms SMP or MRP here.

متن کاملAvailability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval
Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...
متن کاملGeneralised Non-homogeneous Models for Pension Funds and Manpower Management
In this chapter, we present more applications of NHSMP to insurance, particularly in the field of pension funds, showing that non-homogeneous models can be useful in real-life applications, with realistic results based on scenarios that can be treated numerically, even if this involves new software. This model is a general, rigorous and tractable stochastic evolution time model for pension fund...
متن کاملForecasting time and place of earthquakes using a Semi-Markov model (with case study in Tehran province)
The paper examines the application of semi-Markov models to the phenomenon of earthquakes in Tehran province. Generally, earthquakes are not independent of each other, and time and place of earthquakes are related to previous earthquakes; moreover, the time between earthquakes affects the pattern of their occurrence; thus, this occurrence can be likened to semi-Markov models. ...
