2. Government has undertaken its own urban renewal projects for many years. The Hong Kong Housing Society (HS) started its Urban Improvement Scheme in 1974. In 1988, the Land Development Corporation (LDC) was established to speed up the process of urban renewal. The Housing Authority (HA) has also played an important role in urban renewal, in particular by redevelopment of its own estates and a...

The historical data on the consumption of spares are usually available in the form that the renewal function of the item could not easily be obtained by the process described by Cox1. In this paper, b technique is discussed as to how such data be used for the renewal functions through Bayesian approach. A Beta a Priori density for the parameter of Poisson demand is assumed and the Predictive de...

A stationary renewal process based on iid random variables Xi is observed at a given time. The excess time, that is, the residual time until the next renewal event, is of course smaller then the total current X which consists of the residual time plus the current age. Nevertheless in certain types of data the distribution of the excess times is stochastically larger than that of Xi’s. We find n...

Various classes of arrival processes in telecommunication traffic modeling based on heavy-tailed interarrival time distributions exhibit long-range dependence. This includes arrival rate processes of Anick-MitraSondhi (AMS) type where the rate process is an on/off-process with heavy-tailed on-period distribution and/or off-period distribution, as well as generalized Kosten type models (infinite...

OPTIMAL SPLITTING OF RENEWAL INPUT PROCESS TO A QUEUEING SYSTEM AND ITS APPLICATION TO A NETWORK Masao Mori Tokyo Institute of Technology Hiroshi Shirakawa Tokyo Institute of Technology (Received July 22, 1987; Revised October 30, 1987) Suppose customers over fraction p should be allocated to a single server queueing system by splitting a given input stream. In this paper we fust show that the ...

1=f D noise occurs in an impressive variety of physical systems, and numerous complex theories have been proposed to explain it. We construct two relatively simple renewal processes whose power spectral densities vary as 1=f D : 1) a standard renewal point process, with 0 < D < 1; and 2) a nite-valued alternating renewal process, with 0 < D < 2. The resulting event number statistics, coincidenc...

It is often convenient to define models for the process of chiasma formation at meiosis as stationary renewal models. However, count-location models are also useful, particularly to capture the biological requirement of at least one chiasma per chromosome. The Sturt model and truncated Poisson model are both count-location models with this feature. We show that the truncated Poisson model can a...

We consider the stationary distribution of the M/GI/1 type queue when background states are countable. We are interested in its tail behavior. To this end, we derive a Markov renewal equation for characterizing the stationary distribution using a Markov additive process that describes the number of customers in system when the system is not empty. Variants of this Markov renewal equation are al...
