Generalizations of renewal process

Abstract

Renewal processes and some applications of the renewal-type reasoning in reliability were considered in Chap. 3. As was discussed, a renewal process corresponds to the process of instantaneous perfect (ideal) repairs, whereas the process of minimal repairs that was considered in detail in Chaps. 2 and 4 is described by the nonhomogeneous Poisson process. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG.
