Some Stochastic Properties for Imperfect Repair Model

  • Published : 1999.09.01

Abstract

We consider an imperfect repair model under which either a perfect repair or a minimal repair can be performed at each failure of a unit. Some stochastic properties of the number of perfect repairs and the number of minimal repairs under the imperfect repair model are investigated. We also derive the expressions for evaluating the expected numbers of perfect and minimal repairs in general and apply these formulas for certain parametric families of life distributions.
