## Abstract The authors consider Bayesian analysis for continuousβtime Markov chain models based on a conditional reference prior. For such models, inference of the elapsed time between chain observations depends heavily on the rate of decay of the prior as the elapsed time increases. Moreover, imp

In the present paper, we present the concept of a perturbed non-homogeneous Markov system in continuous time. The expected population structure of the system is found and its asymptotic behaviour is provided under more realistic assumptions than in previous studies, by relaxing the assumption that t
The Markov analysis of reliability models frequently involves a partitioning of the state space into two or more subsets, each corresponding to a given degree of functionality of the system. A common partitioning is G U B U { W ) , where G (good) and B (bad) stand, respectively, for fully and partia
## Abstract This article examines a continuous time Markov chain model for a plantationβnursery system in which diseased plantation trees are replaced at a daily rate Ξ» by nursery seedlings. There is a random infection rate Ξ± caused by insects, and the disease is also spread directly between the __
