(Mathematics and Statistics Series: Mathematical Models and Methods in Reliability Set) 1st Edition Volume 3
by Waltraud Kahle (Author), Sophie Mercier (Author), Christian Paroissin (Author)
“Degradation process” refers to
many types of reliability models, which correspond to various kinds of
stochastic processes used for deterioration modeling. This book focuses
on the case of a univariate degradation model with a continuous set of
possible outcomes. The envisioned univariate models have one single
measurable quantity which is assumed to be observed over time.
The
first three chapters are each devoted to one degradation model. The
last chapter illustrates the use of the previously described degradation
models on some real data sets. For each of the degradation models, the
authors provide probabilistic results and explore simulation tools for
sample paths generation. Various estimation procedures are also
developed.
