Two coronary prognostic indices for patients treated in a coronary care unit, namely the Norris Index and the Chapman-Gray Index were compared. Both were found to be reliable but the Chapman-Gray Index with its ready reckoner was more convenient and was subject to fewer subjective data.

Most of the studies on reliability characteristics of redundant systems deal with cold standby systems only. Little attention is paid on 2-out-of-3 warm standby system involving three types of failures. In this study models for mean time to system failure and availability have been developed to study the effect of failure rate on some measures of system effectiveness. Using Chapman Kolmogorov’s...

In this paper, we show that the Chapman-Kolmogorov formula could be used as a recursive formula for computing the m-step-ahead conditional density of a Markov bilinear model. The stationary marginal probability density function of the model may be approximated by the m-step-ahead conditional density for sufficiently large m.
