Abstract

The authors consider an irreducible Markov renewal process (MRP) with a finite number of states. Their aim is to derive estimators of a censored MRP with a finite number of states either in a fixed time T or in the Nth jump. The estimators given here are seen to be of the Kaplan-Meier type. The asymptotic properties these estimators are given. The reliability of a semi-Markov system model is examined numerically by the estimators, and a comparison is made with estimators obtained by Lagakos et al. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
