Abstract

The recurrent process (for example, failure-repair) is considered using extended Kijima models with Weibull underlying lifetime distribution function with changing shape and scale parameters during the stochastic process. The model is described in the following research paper: DOI: 10.1016/ j.ress.2020.107125. Having event times of several components, the calculation allows to estimate the probability function parameters and the restoration factors of imperfect repair. Time to repair can be also introduced into the calculation. The Maximum likelihood and efficient advanced Monte Carlo methods are used.
