In this paper, a reliability model of the demand … availability and unavailability are associated with the simple two-state model. The reliability model is generalized by a multi …

study households’ WTP to avoid specific restrictions on service supply quality (especially reliability) in residential … residents in Canberra, Australia, we find that residential customers value reliability of the electricity service; in particular …

In this paper we consider semi-Markov reliability models of systems with discrete state space in a setup general enough …

special reliability systems are considered, which are closely related to our general results. Finally, we address the …

This paper introduces a definition of reliability based on a process range. Thus, process failure is defined when the … probability distribution of the range is then given and the process reliability over long periods of system operations are then … reliability) are also used to motivate the usefulness of range processes in reliability studies. Finally, we point out that there …
