    On the lifetime behavior of a discrete time shock model
    (Elsevier, 2013) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this article, we study a shock model in which the shocks occur according to a binomial process, i.e. the interarrival times between successive shocks follow a geometric distribution with mean 1/p. According to the model, the system fails when the time between two consecutive shocks is less than a prespecified level. This is the discrete time version of the so-called delta-shock model which has been previously studied for the continuous case. We obtain the probability mass function and probability generating function of the system's lifetime. We also present an extension of the results to the case where the shock occurrences are dependent in a Markovian fashion. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    On δ-shock model with a change point in intershock time distribution
    (Elsevier, 2024) Chadjiconstantinidis, Stathis; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In 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.
