Reliability and Inference for Multi State Systems: The Generalized Kumaraswamy Case
Semi-Markov processes are typical tools for modeling multi state systems by allowing several distributions for sojourn times. In this work, we focus on a general class of distributions based on an arbitrary parent continuous distribution function G with ...

Do Sojourn Effects on Personality Trait Changes Last? A Five‐Year Longitudinal Study
Abstract This study examined sojourners' long‐term personality trait changes over five years, extending previous research on immediate sojourn effects. A sample of German students (N = 1095) was surveyed thrice (T1–T3) over the course of an academic year.

SemiMarkov: An R Package for Parametric Estimation in Multi-State Semi-Markov Models
Multi-state models provide a relevant tool for studying the observations of a continuous-time process at arbitrary times. Markov models are often considered even if semi-Markov are better adapted in various situations.

An SL1L2I1I2A1A2R epidemic model is formulated that describes the spread of an epidemic in a population. The model incorporates an Erlang distribution of times of sojourn in incubating, symptomatically and asymptomatically infectious compartments.

A Queuing Network Model for Solving Facility Layout Problem in Multifloor Flow Shop
Based on comprehensive consideration of stochastic factors and the system performance, we presented an integrated queuing network model (IQNM) to effectively optimize the facility layout of the multi-floor flow shop (MFFS).

On the estimation of misclassification probabilities of chronic kidney disease using continuous time hidden Markov models [PDF]
Introduction: The severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is reflected in the form of stages of CKD and can be decided on the basis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

A Two-Server Queue with Interdependence between Arrival and Service Processes
In this paper, we analyse a queueing system with two servers where the arrival and service processes are interdependent. The evolution of these processes is governed by transitions on the product space of three Markov chains, which are descriptors of the

Sojourn Times in Feedback Queues [PDF]
In many modern computer-communication systems, a job may be processed in several phases, or a job may generate new tasks. Such phenomena can be modeled by service systems with feedback. In the queueing literature, attention has been mainly devoted to single-service queues with so-called Bernoulli feedback: when a customer (task) completes his service ...

Performance characteristics of the fork-join queuing system
Objectives. The problem of investigating a fork-join queuing system is considered. It is required to build the process of the system functioning, to find the condition for the existence of a stationary distribution, and propose algorithms for calculating

Preventing large sojourn times using SMART scheduling [PDF]
Recently, the so-called class of SMART scheduling policies has been introduced to formalize the common heuristic of "biasing toward small jobs." We study the tail of the sojourn-time (response-time) distribution under both SMART policies and the ...
