Our research is centred on the stochastic structure of matched open populations, subjected to periodical reclassifications. These populations are divided into sub-populations. In our application we considered two populations of customers of a bank: with and without account manager. Two or more of such population are matched when there is a 1-1 correspondence between their sub-populations and the elements of one of them can go to another, if and only if the same occurs with elements...

An estimation method for the reliability of "consecutive-k-out-of-n system"

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60K10, 60K20, 60J10, 60J20, 62G02, 62G05, 68M15, 62N05, 68M15. This paper is concerned with consecutive-k-out-of-n system in which all the components have the same q lifetime probability, so, it's possible to estimate q from a sample by using the maximum likelihood principle. In the reliability formula of the consecutive-k-out-of-n system appears the term q^k. The goal in this work is to propose a direct estimation of q^k to avoid...

Single-use reliability computation of a semi-Markovian system

Guglielmo D'Amico (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Markov chain usage models were successfully used to model systems and software. The most prominent approaches are the so-called failure state models Whittaker and Thomason (1994) and the arc-based Bayesian models Sayre and Poore (2000). In this paper we propose arc-based semi-Markov usage models to test systems. We extend previous studies that rely on the Markov chain assumption to the more general semi-Markovian setting. Among the obtained results we give a closed form representation...

Central limit theorem for hitting times of functionals of Markov jump processes

Christian Paroissin, Bernard Ycart (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

A sample of i.i.d. continuous time Markov chains being defined, the sum over each component of a real function of the state is considered. For this functional, a central limit theorem for the first hitting time of a prescribed level is proved. The result extends the classical central limit theorem for order statistics. Various reliability models are presented as examples of applications.

On convergence in distribution of the Markov chain generated by the filter kernel induced by a fully dominated Hidden Markov Model

Thomas Kaijser

Similarity:

Consider a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) such that both the state space and the observation space are complete, separable, metric spaces and for which both the transition probability function (tr.pr.f.) determining the hidden Markov chain of the HMM and the tr.pr.f. determining the observation sequence of the HMM have densities. Such HMMs are called fully dominated. In this paper we consider a subclass of fully dominated HMMs which we call regular. A fully dominated,...

On the exchanges between Wolfgang Doeblin and Bohuslav Hostinský

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

We present the letters sent by Wolfgang Doeblin to Bohuslav Hostinský between 1936 and 1938. They concern some aspects of the general theory of Markov chains and the solutions of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation that Doeblin was then establishing for his PhD thesis.
