    Generalized δ-shock model via runs
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    According to the delta-shock model, the system fails when the time between two consecutive shocks falls below a fixed threshold delta. This model has a potential application in various fields such as inventory, insurance and system reliability. In this paper, we study run-related generalization of this model such that the system fails when k consecutive interarrival times are less than a threshold delta. The survival function and the mean value of the failure time of the system are explicitly derived for exponentially distributed interarrival times. We also propose a new combined shock model which considers both the magnitudes of successive shocks and the interarrival times. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Joint Distribution of Run Statistics in Partially Exchangeable Processes
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    Let {X-i}(i >= 1) be an infinite sequence of recurrent partially exchangeable random variables with two possible outcomes as either "1" (success) or "0" (failure). In this paper we obtain the joint distribution of success and failure run statistics in {X-i}(i >= 1). The results can be used to obtain the joint distribution of runs in ordinary Markov chains, exchangeable and independent sequences. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Discrete Time Shock Models Involving Runs
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this paper, three different discrete time shock models are studied. In the first model, the failure occurs when the additively accumulated damage exceeds a certain level while in the second model the system fails upon the local damage caused by the consecutively occurring shocks. The third model is a mixed model and combines the first and second models. The survival functions of the systems under these models are obtained when the occurrences of the shocks are independent, and when they are Markov dependent over the periods. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
