Abstract

Interconnections between occurrence times of nonhomogeneous Poisson processes, record values, minimal repair times, and the relevation transform are explained. A number of properties of the distributions of occurrence times and interoccurrence times of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process are proved when the mean-value function of the process is convex, starshaped, or superadditive. The same results hold for upper record values of independently identically distributed random variables from IFR, IFRA, and NBU distributions. © 1988, Cambridge University Press.
