On Excess-Time Correlated Cumulative Processes
研究了一类超阈值相关累积过程，推导了其分布、首次通过时间及渐近性质，并应用于随机冲击和按比例保修模型。
In this paper a class of correlated cumulative processes, Bs(t) = ∑N(t)i=1Hs(Xi)Xi, is studied with excess level increments Xi⩾s, where {N(t), t ⩾0} is the counting process generated by the renewal sequence Tn, Tn and Xn are correlated for given n, Hs(t) is the Heaviside function and s⩾0 is a given constant. Several useful results, for the distributions of Bs(t), and that of the number of excess (non-excess) increments on (0, t) and the corresponding means, are derived. First passage time problems are also discussed and various asymptotic properties of the processes are obtained. Transform results, by applying a flexible form for the joint distribution of correlated pairs (Tn, Xn) are derived and inverted. The case of non-excess level increments, Xi < s, is also considered. Finally, applications to known stochastic shock and pro-rata warranty models are given.
