Based upon the non-homogeneous Poisson process as recommended by Ascher & Feingold (1984), we investigate suitable models for describing the inter-failure times of complex repairable systems. Specifically, we modify and develop the proportional inten... Read More about Generalized proportional intensities models for repairable systems..
