(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Markov renewal theory, a branch of probability theory, is based on the properties of regeneration points. Roughly speaking, a regeneration point is a random time in a process at which the future development of the process ...

(American Geophysical Union, 2013-02)This paper presents an improved bivariate mixed distribution, which is capable of modeling the dependence of daily rainfall from two distinct sources (e.g., rainfall from two stations, two consecutive days, or two instruments ...
-
(2012-11-05)The reliability of protection systems has emerged as an important topic because protection failures have critical influence on the reliability of power systems. The goal of this research is to develop novel approaches for ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This dissertation introduces two advancements in the treatment of random components within insect pest population models. Part one of the dissertation develops a model for predicting the mean and variance of a population ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Most maintenance models for stochastically deteriorating systems consider to replace or not to replace as the only two actions that can be taken at any deterioration stage. In this research a preventive repair model that ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The control of deterioration processes for which only incomplete state information is available is examined in this study. When the deterioration is governed by a Markov process, such processes are known as Partially ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)We examine a failure model for a system subject to a sequence of randomly occuring shocks. A shock is any perturbation to the system which causes a random amount of damage to the system. Any of the shocks can cause the ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The stochastic model of the allosterically regulated enzyme aspartate transcarbamylase uses a Markov process to describe the rate of reaction of substrate binding given various concentration levels. The enzymatic process ...
