Simple Formulas for Counting Processes in Reliability Models
Dependability evaluation is a basic component in the assessment of the quality of repairable systems. We develop a model taking simultaneously into account the occurrence of failures and repairs, together with the observation of user-defined success events. The model is built from a Markovian description of the behavior of the system. We obtain the distribution function of the joint number of o...
متن کاملFuzzy Reliability Optimization Models for Redundant Systems
In this paper, a special class of redundancy optimization problem with fuzzy random variables is presented. In this model, fuzzy random lifetimes are considered as basic parameters and the Er-expected of system lifetime is used as a major type of system performance. Then a redundancy optimization problem is formulated as a binary integer programming model. Furthermore, illustrative numerical ex...
متن کاملEfficient estimation of semiparametric transformation models for counting processes
A class of semiparametric transformation models is proposed to characterise the effects of possibly time-varying covariates on the intensity functions of counting processes. The class includes the proportional intensity model and linear transformation models as special cases. Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators are developed for the regression parameters and cumulative intensity functio...
متن کاملStochastic Justification of Some Simple Reliability Models∗
In this paper we derive conditions on the internal wear process under which the resulting time-to-failure model will be of the simple collapsible form (Oakes, 1995, Duchesne and Lawless, 2000) when the usage accumulation history is available. We suppose that failure occurs when internal wear crosses a certain threshold and/or a traumatic event causes the item to fail (Cox, 1999 and Bagdonavičiu...
متن کاملOptimized Method for Reticulocyte Counting: Simple, Accurate, and Comparable to Flow Cytometry
Background: Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells with RNA, spending the final stages of their maturation in the peripheral blood. The number of reticulocytes in the peripheral blood is the salient evidence of the effectiveness of bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Currently, reticulocyte count is done manually or automatically in clinical laboratories. Difficulties and limitations of...
