Description for Semi-Markov Processes and Reliability
Hardback. This work provides an overview of semi-Markov processes and their applications in reliability. It contains examples which aid in the understanding of the theoretical notions and shows how to apply them to concrete physical situations including algorithmic simulations. Series: Statistics for Industry and Technology. Num Pages: 234 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBWL; TGPR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 14. Weight in Grams: 636.
At first there was the Markov property. The theory of stochastic processes, which can be considered as an exten sion of probability theory, allows the modeling of the evolution of systems through the time. It cannot be properly understood just as pure mathemat ics, separated from the body of experience and examples that have brought it to life. The theory of stochastic processes entered a period of intensive develop ment, which is not finished yet, when the idea of the Markov property was brought in. Not even a serious study of the renewal processes is possible without using the strong ... Read more

Reviews for Semi-Markov Processes and Reliability
"The book presents an introductory and at the same time rather comprehensive treatment of semi-Markov processes and their applications to reliability theory. It also provides some general background (like measure theory, Markov processes and Laplace transform), which makes it accessible to a broader audience.… The book may be a useful tool for researchers and students interested in the theory of ...
