A Mixed Kijima Model Using the Weibull-Based Generalized Renewal Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generalized Renewal Processes are useful for approaching the rejuvenation of dynamical systems resulting from planned or unplanned interventions. We present new perspectives for the Generalized Renewal Processes in general and for the Weibull-based Generalized Renewal Processes in particular. Disregarding from literature, we present a mixed Generalized Renewal Processes approach involving Kijima Type I and II models, allowing one to infer the impact of distinct interventions on the performance of the system under study. The first and second theoretical moments of this model are introduced as well as its maximum likelihood estimation and random sampling approaches. In order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed Weibull-based Generalized Renewal Processes model, some real data sets involving improving, stable, and deteriorating systems are used.

G1-renewal Process as Repairable System Model
This paper considers a point process model with a monotonically decreasing or increasing ROCOF and the underlying distributions from the location-scale family. In terms of repairable system reliability analysis, the process is capable of modeling various restoration types including “better–than–new”, i.e., the one not covered by the popular G-Renewal model (Kijima & Sumita, 1986). The character...
متن کاملStatistical Modeling for Oblique Collision of Nano and Micro Droplets in Plasma Spray Processes
Spreading and coating of nano and micro droplets on solid surfaces is important in a wide variety of applications including plasma spray coating, ink jet printing, DNA synthesis and etc. In spraying processes, most of droplets collide obliquely to the surface. The purpose of this article is to study the distribution of nano and micro droplets spreading when droplets impact at an oblique a...
متن کاملCombining Generalized Renewal Processes with Non-Extensive Entropy-Based q-Distributions for Reliability Applications
The Generalized Renewal Process (GRP) is a probabilistic model for repairable systems that can represent the usual states of a system after a repair: as new, as old, or in a condition between new and old. It is often coupled with the Weibull distribution, widely used in the reliability context. In this paper, we develop novel GRP models based on probability distributions that stem from the Tsal...
متن کاملComparing the Shape Parameters of Two Weibull Distributions Using Records: A Generalized Inference
The Weibull distribution is a very applicable model for the lifetime data. For inference about two Weibull distributions using records, the shape parameters of the distributions are usually considered equal. However, there is not an appropriate method for comparing the shape parameters in the literature. Therefore, comparing the shape parameters of two Weibull distributions is very important. I...
متن کاملGeneralized Renewal Process: Models, Parameter Estimation and Applications to Maintenance Problems
Kijima and Sumita have proposed a stochastic model called the generalized renewal process (GRP) to describe the availability characteristics of repairable systems by introducing the notion of the virtual age of the system. Yanez et al. offer maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach for estimating parameters of the GRP models. Due to the complexity of the equations, a close solution is not a...
