The reliability of a repairable system that is either improving or deteriorating depends on the system's chronological age. If such a system undergoes "minimal repair" at the occurrence of each failure so that the rate of system failures is not disturbed by the repair, then a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) may be used to model the "age-dependent" reliability of the system. The power law process (PLP) is a model within the class of NHPP models and is commonly used as a model for describing the failure times of a repairable system. We introduce a new model that is an extension of the PLP model: the power law process change-point model. This model is capable of describing the failure times of particular types of repairable systems that experience a single change in their rates of occurrence of failures. Bayesian inference procedures for this model are developed.

In this paper, we have derived the probability density function of the size-biased p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution and studied its properties. Its suitability as a survival model has been discussed by obtaining its survival and hazard functions. We also discussed Bayesian estimation of the parameter of the size-biased p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution. Bayes estimators have been obtained by taking quasi-prior. The loss functions used are squared error and precautionary.

We propose a maintenance policy for new equipment on a repair-refund maintenance strategy in this paper and derive the optimal lease period from the lessor’s perspective based on independent and identical distribution of historical failure data which obey power law process. The cost model of a full refund and a proportional refund is studied, and the corresponding optimal leasing period is determined by reducing the expected total cost rate to the largest extent. We use a numerical example to illustrate the proposed cost model and analyze the sensitivity of related parameters. Furthermore, we show that the proportional refund policy is preferable than a full refund to the lessor. Finally, according to the simulation outcome, the proposed methods are effective and instructions for lessor in regard to equipment lease are provided.

This paper is concerned with estimating the parameter of Rayleigh distribution (special case of two parameters Weibull distribution) by adopting Bayesian approach under squared error (SE), LINEX, MLINEX loss function. The performances of the obtained estimators for different types of loss functions are then compared. Better result is found in Bayesian approach under MLINEX loss function. Bayes risk of the estimators are also computed and presented in graphs.
