Abstract
This paper shows how the theory of semi-Markov processes can be used to obtain some important figures of merit from non-exponential failure models of generating units. The approach is used to obtain the time dependent state probabilities, the distribution of the time to transit from one state to another and the distribution of the number of visits to a given state in a fixed amount of time for a three-state model in which the occupancy times of two of the states is not exponential.
