Article On 𝜹-Shock Model With a Change Point in Intershock Time Distribution(Statistics & Probability Letters, 2024) Chadjiconstantinidis, Stathis; Eryılmaz, SerkanIn this paper, we study the reliability of a system that works under 𝛿-shock model. That is, the system failure occurs when the time between two successive shocks is less than a given thresh old 𝛿. In a traditional setup of the 𝛿 shock model, the intershock times are assumed to have the same distribution. In the present setup, a change occurs in the distribution of the intershock times due to an environmental effect. Thus, the distribution of the intershock times changes after a random number of shocks. The reliability of the system is studied under this change point setup.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Reliability Assessment for Censored Δ-Shock Models(Springer, 2022) Chadjiconstantinidis, Stathis; Eryilmaz, SerkanThis paper is devoted to study censored delta-shock models for both cases when the intershock times have discrete and continuous distributions. In particular, the distribution and moments of the system's lifetime are studied via probability generating functions and Laplace transforms. For discrete intershock time distributions, several recursions for evaluating the probability mass function, the survival function and the moments of the system's lifetime are given. As it is shown for the discrete case, the distribution of the system's lifetime is directly linked with matrix-geometric distributions for particular classes of intershock time distributions, such as phase-type distributions. Thus, matrix-based expressions are readily obtained for the exact distribution of the system's lifetime under discrete setup. Also, discrete uniform intershock time distributions are examined. For the case of continuous intershock time distributions, it is shown that the shifted lifetime has a compound geometric distribution, and based on this, the distribution of the system's lifetime is approximated via discrete mixture distributions having a mass at delta and matrix-exponential distributions for the continuous part. Both for the discrete and the continuous case, Lundberg-type bounds and asymptotics for the survival function of system's lifetime are given. To illustrate the results, some numerical examples, both for the discrete and the continuous case, are also given.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6On δ-shock model with a change point in intershock time distribution(Elsevier, 2024) Chadjiconstantinidis, Stathis; Eryilmaz, SerkanIn this paper, we study the reliability of a system that works under o-shock model. That is, the system failure occurs when the time between two successive shocks is less than a given threshold o. In a traditional setup of the o shock model, the intershock times are assumed to have the same distribution. In the present setup, a change occurs in the distribution of the intershock times due to an environmental effect. Thus, the distribution of the intershock times changes after a random number of shocks. The reliability of the system is studied under this change point setup.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12A New Mixed Δ-Shock Model With a Change in Shock Distribution(Springer, 2023) Chadjiconstantinidis, Stathis; Tuncel, Altan; Eryilmaz, SerkanIn this paper, reliability properties of a system that is subject to a sequence of shocks are investigated under a particular new change point model. According to the model, a change in the distribution of the shock magnitudes occurs upon the occurrence of a shock that is above a certain critical level. The system fails when the time between successive shocks is less than a given threshold, or the magnitude of a single shock is above a critical threshold. The survival function of the system is studied under both cases when the times between shocks follow discrete distribution and when the times between shocks follow continuous distribution. Matrix-based expressions are obtained for matrix-geometric discrete intershock times and for matrix-exponential continuous intershock times, as well.
