Extended Geometric Processes: Semiparametric Estimation and Application to ReliabilityImperfect repair, Markov renewal equation, replacement policy
Authors
Abstract:
Lam (2007) introduces a generalization of renewal processes named Geometric processes, where inter-arrival times are independent and identically distributed up to a multiplicative scale parameter, in a geometric fashion. We here envision a more general scaling, not necessar- ily geometric. The corresponding counting process is named Extended Geometric Process (EGP). Semiparametric estimates are provided and studied for an EGP, which includes consistency results and convergence rates. In a reliability context, arrivals of an EGP may stand for suc- cessive failure times of a system submitted to imperfect repairs. In this context, we study: 1) the mean number of failures on some finite hori- zon time 2) a replacement policy assessed through a cost function on an infinite horizon time.

Efficient estimation for semiparametric semi-Markov processes
We consider semiparametric models of semi-Markov processes with arbitrary state space. Assuming that the process is geometrically ergodic, we characterize efficient estimators, in the sense of Hájek and Le Cam, for arbitrary real-valued smooth functionals of the distribution of the embedded Markov renewal process. We construct efficient estimators of the parameter and of linear functionals of t...
full textApplication of Markov Processes to the Machine Delays Analysis
Production and non-productive equipment and personnel delays are a critical element of any production system. The frequency and length of delays impact heavily on the production and economic efficiency of these systems. Machining processes in wood industry are particularly vulnerable to productive and non-productive delays. Whereas, traditional manufacturing industries usually operate on homoge...
full textEstimation in a Semiparametric Modulated Renewal Process
We consider parameter estimation in a regression model corresponding to an iid sequence of censored observations of a finite state modulated renewal process. The model assumes a similar form as in Cox regression except that the baseline intensities are functions of the backwards recurrence time of the process and a time dependent covariate. As a result of this it falls outside the class of mult...

We consider the geometric Markov renewal processes as a model for a security market and study this processes in a diffusion approximation scheme. Weak convergence analysis and rates of convergence of ergodic geometric Markov renewal processes in diffusion scheme are presented. We present European call option pricing formulas in the case of ergodic, double-averaged, and merged diffusion geometri...
full textA Diffusion Approximation for Markov Renewal Processes
For a Markov renewal process where the time parameter is discrete, we present a novel method for calculating the asymptotic variance. Our approach is based on the key renewal theorem and is applicable even when the state space of the Markov chain is countably infinite.
full textLimiting Covariance in Markov-renewal Processes
General additive functions called rewards are defined on a "regular" finite-state Markov-renewal process. The asymptotic form of the mean total reward in [0,t] has previously been obtained, and it is known that the total rewards are joint-normally distributed as t -► oo. This paper finds the dominant asymptotic term in the covariance of the total rewetrds as a simple function of the moments of ...
