    　概要を見る

    Reversible.jump Marko' chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) methods are used to fit Bayesian capture recapture models incorporating heterogeneity in individuals and samples. Heterogeneity in capture probabilities comes from finite mixtures and/or fixed sample effects allowing for interactions. Estimation by RJMCMC allows automatic model selection and/or model averaging. Priors on the parameters stabilize the estimates and produce realistic credible intervals for population size for overparameterized models; in contrast to likelihood-based methods. To demonstrate the approach we analyze the standard Snowshoe hare and Cottontail rabbit data sets from ecology, a reliability testing data set.

    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability   221 ( 4 ) 265 - 273  2007年12月

    　概要を見る

    For repairable products, the warrantor has options in choosing the type of repair performed to an item that fails within the warranty period. The focus is on a particular warranty repair strategy, related to the degree of the warranty repair, under a non-renewing two-dimensional warranty policy that is free of charge to the consumer. A rectangular warranty region, as in the automotive industry, is considered and partitioned into disjoint subregions. Each of these subregions has a preassigned degree of repair for a faulty item. First, for a partition of size n, an expression is derived for the associated expected warranty servicing cost per item sold. Second, using an example, for a given discretization of the warranty period, the way in which the number of subregions and their shape can be determined, so that the expected warranty servicing cost per item sold is minimum, is demonstrated. © 2007, Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

  • Warranty analysis: Estimation of the degree of imperfect repair via a Bayesian approach

    S. Chukova, Y. Hayakawa, R. Arnold

    RECENT ADVANCES IN STOCHASTIC OPERATIONS RESEARCH     3 - +  2007年  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    An approach to modeling imperfect repairs under warranty settings is presented in Chukova, Arnold and Wang(12). They model the imperfect repairs using the concepts of delayed and accelerated distribution functions. As an extension of their approach, we design a procedure for estimating the degree of repair as well as other modeling parameters by Markov chain Monte Carlo (McMC) methods.

  • A beta-binomial model for estimating the size of a heterogeneous population

    PSF Yip, LQ Xi, R Arnold, Y Hayakawa

    AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF STATISTICS   47 ( 3 ) 299 - 308  2005年09月  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    This paper compares the properties of various estimators for a beta-binomial model for estimating the size of a heterogeneous population. It is found that maximum likelihood and conditional maximum likelihood estimators perform well for a large population with a large capture proportion. The jackknife and the sample coverage estimators are biased for low capture probabilities. The performance of the martingale estimator is satisfactory, but it requires full capture histories. The Gibbs sampler and Metropolis-Hastings algorithm provide reasonable posterior estimates for informative priors.

  • Warranty cost analysis: Quasi-renewal inter-repair times

    Stefanka Chukova, Yu Hayakawa

    International Journal of Quality and Reliability Management   22 ( 7 ) 687 - 698  2005年

    　概要を見る

    Purpose - To provide a brief introduction to warranty analysis and a classification of general repairs. To introduce the notion of accelerated probability distribution and use it to model imperfect warranty repairs. Design/methodology/approach - The notion of accelerated probability distribution is discussed and its similarity with quasi-renewal and geometric processes is observed. An approach to modeling imperfect warranty repairs based on the accelerated probability distributions is presented, and the corresponding expected warranty cost over the warranty period under non-renewing free replacement warranty policy is evaluated. Findings - It is observed that quasi-renewal and the geometric processes are equivalent. Using data from an existing warranty database it is shown that the inter-repair times form a quasi-renewal process. The corresponding expected warranty cost over the warranty period under a non-renewing free replacement warranty policy is evaluated. Research limitations/implications - This approach is applicable only if the cost of the warranty repair is an increasing function of the number of repairs. Practical implications - Provides a useful approach to modeling inter-repair times incorporating the idea of imperfect repairs in practice. Originality/value - Provides an approach to model imperfect warranty repairs and to evaluate the corresponding expected warranty cost. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

  • Warranty cost analysis: Renewing warranty with non-zero repair time

    Stefanka Chukova, Yu Hayakawa

    International Journal of Reliability, Quality and Safety Engineering   11 ( 2 ) 93 - 112  2004年06月

    　概要を見る

    The main focus of this study is on the modeling of the warranty claims and evaluating the warranty expenses. The cost of each warranty claim depends on the repair time associated with the claim. Alternating renewal process is used to model the operating and repair times. The warranty costs over the warranty period under renewing free replacement policy are evaluated. Also, the expected warranty expenses over the life cycle of the product are studied. Numerical examples illustrate the ideas.

    　概要を見る

    A brief introduction to concepts and problems in warranty analysis is presented. The degree of warranty repair over the warranty period have an impact on the expected warranty costs and influences consumers' expenses over the post-warranty usage period of the product. Some techniques and approaches for modeling imperfect repairs are reviewed. A particular model is used to illustrate the impact of the degree of repair on warranty servicing costs.

    　概要を見る

    The main focus of this study is on the modelling of the warranty claims and evaluating the warranty expenses. The cost of each warranty claim depends on the non-zero length of the repair time. Alternating renewal process is employed to model the operating and repair times. New results for alternating renewal process in finite horizon are derived. They are used to evaluate the warranty costs over the warranty period under non-renewing free replacement policy and over the life cycle of the product. Examples are provided to illustrate the ideas.

  • Bayesian inference for a stochastic epidemic model with uncertain numbers of susceptibles of several types

    Y Hayakawa, PD O'Neill, D Upton, PSF Yip

    AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF STATISTICS   45 ( 4 ) 491 - 502  2003年12月  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    A stochastic epidemic model with several kinds of susceptible is used to analyse temporal disease outbreak data from a Bayesian perspective. Prior distributions are used to model uncertainty in the actual numbers of susceptibles initially present. The posterior distribution of the parameters of the model is explored via Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The methods are illustrated using two datasets, and the results are compared where possible to results obtained by previous analyses.

  • A frailty model for detecting number of faults in a system

    Y Wang, PSF Yip, Y Hayakawa

    STATISTICA SINICA   12 ( 4 ) 1001 - 1013  2002年10月  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    A frailty model for failure data is proposed to estimate the total number of faults in a system. The Littlewood model and Jelinski-Moranda are the two particular cases of the proposed formulation. The two-stage estimating procedure, a conditional likelihood and a Horvitz-Thompson estimator, is found to be efficient. Simulation studies are given to assess the performance of the estimator. Two examples axe also presented.

    A new recapture debugging model is suggested to estimate the number of faults in a system, nu, and the failure intensity of each fault, phi. The Gibbs sampler and the Metropolis algorithm are used in this inference procedure. A numerical illustration suggests a notable improvement on the estimation of nu and phi compared with that of a removal debugging model.

  • Mixed Poisson-type processes with application in software reliability

    　概要を見る

    We introduce one generalization of the mixed Poisson process referred to as the mixed Poisson-type process. An approach taken here is to assume the l(1)-isotropy of interevent times and to define the parameter as a function of observable quantities. An inhomogeneous variant of the new process is studied as a software reliability model. As an illustration a numerical example is analyzed via the Gibbs sampler. The mixed Poisson-type process is constructed through probabilistic behaviour of observable quantities and includes the mixed Poisson processes the limiting case. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

  • A new characterisation property of mixed poisson processes via Berman's theorem

    　概要を見る

    In the literature on mixed Poisson processes, a number of characterisation properties have been studied. As a new characterisation property for mixed Poisson processes, we show that normalised event occurrence times are the order statistics of independent uniform random variables on (0, 1). Berman's theorem on l(p)-isotropic sequences is applied to prove the results.

  • Sensitivity-analysis and estimating number-of-faults in removal debugging

    PSF Yip, LQ Xi, DYT Fong, Y Hayakawa

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON RELIABILITY   48 ( 3 ) 300 - 305  1999年09月  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    Estimating the number of faults in a computer program is important in software debugging. A martingale equation is used to estimate the number of faults in removal-debugging by assuming a known proportionality constant between the failure rate of a 'newly detected fault' and a 'seeded fault'. The sensitivity of the assumption is examined, and the results are generalized to allow an unknown proportionality. The information of the proportionality is shown to be crucial in the precision & availability of the estimates. It is advisable to obtain the information about the proportionality constant from external sources in order to improve the efficiency of the method in this paper.

    JOURNAL OF STATISTICAL PLANNING AND INFERENCE   70 ( 2 ) 225 - 240  1998年07月  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    We introduce a new notion of positive dependence of survival times of system components using the multivariate arrangement increasing property. Following the spirit of Barlow and Mendel (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 87, 1116-1122), who introduced a new univariate aging notion relative to exchangeable populations of components, we characterize a multivariate positive dependence with respect to exchangeable multicomponent systems. Closure properties of such a class of distributions under some reliability operations are discussed. For an infinite population of systems our definition of multivariate positive dependence can be considered in the frequentist's paradigm as multivariate totally positive of order 2 with an independence condition. de Finetti(-type) representations for a particular class of survival functions are also given.

  • THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW BIVARIATE EXPONENTIAL-DISTRIBUTIONS FROM A BAYESIAN PERSPECTIVE

    Y HAYAKAWA

    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION   89 ( 427 ) 1044 - 1049  1994年09月  [査読有り]

    　概要を見る

    We use an economic approach of Mendel to derive new bivariate exponential lifetime distributions. Features distinguishing this approach from the existing ones are (1) it makes use of the principle of indifference; (2) our parameter of interest is a measurable function of observable quantities; (3) the assessment of the probability measure for random lifetimes is performed by assessing that for random lifetime costs with a change of variables; and (4) characterization properties other than the bivariate loss-of-memory property are used to construct distributions. For the infinite population case, our distributions correspond to mixtures of existing bivariate exponential distributions such as the Freund distribution, the Marshall-Olkin distribution, and the Friday-Patil distribution. Moreover, a family of natural conjugate priors for Bayesian Freund(-type) bivariate exponential distributions is discussed.

    　概要を見る

    Richard Arnold, Stefanka Chukova and Yu Hayakawa have carried out collaborative work on modelling system reliability using a non-parametric Bayesian approach. We and Sarah Marshall also worked on 3 other projects: 1) Construction of models with nonzero repair times dependent on hazard rate; 2) A review paper on Geometric-like processes with their applications; and 3) The mean value function of an alternating geometric process. These projects are complementary to our original goals.We are taking a non-parametric Bayesian approach to analyse hazard rate functions. We have made a major progress on simulation and inference for a non-parametric hazard rate function drawn from a gamma process prior. A short paper has been submitted for inclusion in the 2020 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modelling (APARM 2020).We are also working on biclustering in capture-recapture experiments from a non-parametric Bayesian perspective. This work is applicable to the estimation of the number of undetected faults after a panel of independent reviewers has tested a piece of software.We wrote a paper on nonzero repair times dependent on hazard rate. This paper was published in April 2020 in the journal Quality and Reliability Engineering International.We also completed a review paper on Geometric-like processes with their applications. This paper will be published this year in the journal Reliability and Engineering System Safety. A paper on mean value function of an alternating geometric process was presented at 2 conferences in New Zealand.As mentioned above, we are taking a non-parametric Bayesian approach to system reliability modelling. We have spent majority of our time to work on the fundamentals for the framework of non-parametric Bayesian analysis of hazard rate functions using the gamma process prior. We have written a short paper on our results (submitted to APARM 2020).As mentioned above, we have made a major progress on simulation and inference for hazard rate function via gamma process prior. We used the fact that the gamma process can be constructed from a Dirichlet process that is scaled by an independent gamma random variable. Based on these results, we plan to work on the following projects:1) U shaped hazard rate functions are bathtub hazard rate functions which have no interval with a constant hazard rate. We plan to work on non-parametric Bayesian estimation of such hazard rate functions.2) Log-convex hazard functions offer a flexible family of hazard rate functions, which include IFR, DFR and bathtub hazard rate functions. We plan to apply the translated gamma process as a prior of the hazard rate function to conduct hypothesis testing of bathtub hazard rate vs IFR.We also plan to work on non-parametric Bayesian procedure to obtain posterior expectation of the hazard rate function under IFR via Monte Carlo simulation of weighted Chinese restaurant process. Our plan also includes working on a non-parametric Bayesian hypothesis testing of IFR vs DFR

  • Non-parametric Bayesian approach to modelling system reliability

    2018年   Richard Arnold, Stefanka Chukova, Sarah Marshall

    　概要を見る

    Weare taking a nonparametric Bayesian approach to hazard function modelling. Thehigh level of complexity of this approach has meant we spent a significantamount of time on review of the literature and on model formulation.  We have created a draft technical reportsummarising our findings and have implanted simulation models for the GammaProcess methodology which we are using. We are also working on biclustering incapture-recapture experiments from a nonparametric Bayesian perspective and arepresenting our results at MMR 2019.  Wewrote a paper on delayed reporting of faults in warranty claims, in which thereporting process is modelled as a stochastic process dependent on theunderlying stochastic process generating the faults.  Our paper has been presented at seminars andconferences. This research inspired another project on nonzero repair timesdependent on the failure hazard.  Ourpaper on this project will be presented at MMR 2019. Wealso worked on a review paper and a book chapter on geometric-like processesand their applications in warranty analysis. Conference and workshop presentations have been given on this topic andwe also present our paper at MMR 2019. The book chapter has been accepted for publication.

  • Delayed reporting of faults in warranty claims

    2017年   Richard Arnold, Stefanka Chukova

    　概要を見る

    When a complex system is operated, it may experience multiple faults. If the system is operating under warranty these faults may be claimed for and repaired at zero or minimal cost to the consumer.  However, if the faults do not lead to system failure the user may find it inconvenient to claim for each repair as it occurs and may instead delay making a report or claim until a sufficiently large number of faults has accumulated. We present a model for the delayed reporting of faults: multiple non-fatal faults are accumulated and then simultaneously reported and repaired. The reporting process is modelled as a stochastic process dependent on the underlying stochastic process generating the faults. The joint distribution of the reporting times and numbers of reported faults is derived.  We presented a paper on the project in the 10th International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability held in France on 3-6 July 2017.  We also worked on a few extensions of the above model, which deal with multiple fault types, planned preventative maintenance and customer rush and wrote a manuscript on the results.  We have written a manuscript on the above results and plan to extend it by adding simulation results.  An extended version of the manuscript will be submitted to an international peer review journal later this year.

  • Warranty cost analysis with non-zero repair times through hierarchical stochastic processes

    2017年   Richard Arnold, Stefanka Chukova, Yuuki Rikimaru

    　概要を見る

    1)    We model the warranty claims process and evaluate the warranty servicing costs under non-renewing and renewing free repair warranties.  We assume that the repair time for rectifying the claims is non-zero and the repair cost is a function of the length of the repair time.  To accommodate the ageing of the product and repair equipment, we use a decreasing geometric process to model the consecutive operational times and an increasing geometric process to model the consecutive repair times.  We identify and study the alternating geometric process (AGP), which is an alternating process with cycles consisting of the item’s operational time followed by the corresponding repair time.  We derive new results for the AGP in finite horizon and use them to evaluate the warranty costs over the warranty period and over the life cycle of the product under a non-renewing free repair warranty (NRFRW), a renewing free repair warranty (RFRW) and a restricted renewing free repair warranty (RRFRW(n)).  Properties of the model are demonstrated using a simulation study.Together with Dr Sarah Marshall, Auckland University of Technology, we wrote a paper on the results of this project and it was made a technical report (Research Report Series (ISSN:1174-2011), #18-1, Victoria University of Wellington School of Mathematics and Statistics (http://sms.victoria.ac.nz/Main/ResearchReportSeries) (2018)).  We submitted this paper to a joint conference: APARM2018 & QR2MSE2018.  We will present this paper at this conference in August 2018.2)    We present a model for the delayed reporting of faults: multiple non-fatal faults are accumulated and then simultaneously reported and repaired.  The reporting process is modelled as a stochastic process dependent on the underlying stochastic process generating the faults.  We have worked on the cases of multiple faults types, planned preventative maintenance and customer rush.  A manuscript has been written on the results and we plan to extend it by adding simulation studies and submit it to an international peer reviewed journal this year.

  • Modelling system reliability: Non-parametric Bayesian inference

    2016年   Richard Arnold, Stefanka Chukova, Adam Rod

    　概要を見る

    1) We construct a model for the delayed reporting of non-fatal faults which are accumulated before being reported in groups, which is applicable to warranty claim analysis. We extend this model to account for multiple fault types, planned preventative maintenance and customer rush. We have submitted a manuscript for presentation in an invited session at the 10th International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability in Grenoble, France, on 3-6 July 2017. We also presented our paper at 2016 Joint NZSA+ORSNZ Conference (27-30 November 2016) and the Joint Workshop – New Development of Stochastic Models (15 October 2016). Our paper on this model was awarded a Best Paper award at the Asia-Pacific Workshop on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modelling (Seoul, August 2016).2) We present a general approach to inference in multicomponent systems where the system is viewed as being made up of Independent Overlapping Subsystems (IOS). We submitted a paper on this project to IEEE Transactions on Reliability in February 2016 and submitted a revision of the paper in December 2016.3) We present a unified model for multi-component systems with dependent failures and imperfect repairs. A paper on this project was finalised and submitted to “Stochastic Operations Research in Business and Industry,” World Scientific, for inclusion as a book chapter in December 2016.

  • Stochastic process approaches to modelling system reliability

    2015年   Richard Arnold, Stefanka Chukova, Fan Wang

    　概要を見る

    1) We present a model for the delayed reporting of faults: multiple sub-critical faults are accumulated and then simultaneously reported and repaired. The reporting process is modelled as a stochastic process dependent on the underlying stochastic process generating the faults. The joint distribution of the reporting times and numbers of reported faults is derived.  We have submitted a manuscript for presentation at The 7th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modeling in Seoul, Korea, on 24-26 August 2016.2) We generalise existing approaches to inference in multicomponent systems by formulating the likelihood for systems made up of independent overlapping subsystems, and have shown how to apply this inference procedure to the models that we had previously published.   A paper on this project was finalised and submitted to IEEE Transaction on Reliability in February 2016.3) We model the warranty servicing costs by assuming non-zero increasing repair times.  We introduce the generalised alternating renewal process by using the geometric process.  Simulation is used to estimate the expected costs over the warranty period and life cycle.  We have written a manuscript summarising our results and plan to submit its finalised version to European Journal of Operational Research by August 2016.

  • Warranty Cost Analysis with Non-zero Repair Times: Models and Inference

    A summary of research outcomes:Research team of Waseda University Grant for Special Research Projects (2013B-246) consisted of the following members:Principal researcher: Dr Yu Hayakawa, Waseda UniversityResearch collaborator: Dr Stefanka Chukova, Victoria University of WellingtonResearch collaborator: Yimo Xu, Waseda University (undergraduate student)Research assistant: Yan Liu, Waseda University (PhD student)In our research plan submitted for this grant, we stated that the main focus is on the modeling of the warranty claims and evaluation of the warranty servicing costs under non-renewing free replacement warranty policy. Our model is based the generalised alternating renewal process and we derive new results on this stochastic process with a finite time horizon. We also employ simulation methods to obtain numerical results. We report that we have made good progress on this project and on some related projects as well.Dr Stefanka Chukova visited the School of International Liberal Studies (SILS), Waseda University, during 12-19 December 2013. Dr Richard Arnold, her colleague from Victoria University of Wellington, was also visiting SILS on sabbatical from November 2013 to February 2014. Throughout the period of this grant, we worked together on the project described above and a few other related topics described below.1) We model the warranty claims process and evaluate the warranty servicing costs under non-renewing and renewing free replacement warranties. We use an increasing geometric process to model the consecutive repair times. This model is based on the generalised alternating renewal process (GAR) and we derive new results on GAR process with a finite time horizon. This work is in the manuscript [1] whose details are given in the next section. This manuscript will be presented at the 6th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modelling (APARM 2014, August 2014, Sapporo, Japan).Yan Liu conducted a simulation study on the above model under non-renewing replacement warranty and obtained numerical results. Yimo Xu wrote a set of notes on the relevant technical details and proofs of the theorems. We are working on an extended version of the manuscript [1] by incorporating the simulation results under both non-renewing and renewing warranty replacement policies (the manuscript [5]).2) We have constructed a model for correlated failures in multicomponent systems where failed components are repaired. Due to these repairs multiple failures of each component are observable. We assume that repair is instantaneous, but imperfect. Correlation amongst failures and the overall ageing of the system are modeled by treating each component failure as a shock which damages the other components in the system. Our results are in the manuscript [2]. This manuscript will be presented at the 6th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modelling (APARM 2014).3) Reliability data may incorporate a failure severity measure as well as the time of each failure. Such severities may however be qualitative ordinal data. We apply finite mixture methods to group units into fuzzy clusters, in order to model the joint distribution of failure times and severities. This work is in the manuscript [3]. This manuscript will be presented at the 6th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Advanced Reliability and Maintenance Modelling (APARM 2014).4) We develop inference procedures for the shock models that we had previously published. We introduce a new type of grouping of subunits which allow for common cause failures, i.e., all the components within a subunit failure simultaneously. A paper on this project is in preparation.
