Modeling of repairable systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
The reliability of many stochastic repairable systems depends on several characteristics that are time dependent. In this paper, we develop general repair models for a repairable system by using auxiliary stochastic processes which describe physical characteristics of the system and derive various properties of resulting models. We also obtain an inference procedure to assess the number of failures and expected number of failures for our proposed models by observing auxiliary processes.
Clearly, our inference procedure is different from the traditional approach, where successive times of occurrence of failures are observed.
