Abstract

We derive three equivalent sufficient conditions for association in time of a finite state semi-Markov process in terms of transition probabilities and crude hazard rates. This result generalizes the earlier results of Esary and Proschan (1970), for a binary Markov process and Hjort et al. (1985), for a multistate Markov process.
