Dependability metrics are omnipresent in every engineering field, from simple ones through to more complex measures combining performance and dependability aspe

Covers fundamental and applied results of Markov chain analysis for the evaluation of dependability metrics, for graduate students and researchers.

Markov chains are a fundamental class of stochastic processes. They are widely used to solve problems in a large number of domains such as operational research,

Here is a work that adds much to the sum of our knowledge in a key area of science today. It is concerned with the estimation of discrete-time semi-Markov and h
