This paper is concerned with opportunistic maintenance on a multi-component cumulative damage shock model with stochastically dependent components. A component fails when its cumulative damage exceeds a given threshold, and any such a failure creates a maintenance opportunity, and triggers a...

We consider the optimization problem of a decision maker facing a sequence of coin tosses with an initially unknown probability Θ for heads. Before each toss she bets on either heads or tails and she wins one euro if she guesses correctly, otherwise she loses one euro. We investigate the effect...
