Honest Chipoyera, from the School of Statistics and Actuarial Science, will present this seminar.
Many research articles dealing with the problems of inspection and replacement models have been published in the last half century. Most of the research has focused on the problem of inspection and replacement models with an infinite planning horizon with very few papers dealing with the case of finite planning horizons.
Chipoyera’s research has tried to fill this void as well as look at the case of another class of inspection models (called hierarchical inspection models) which has been somewhat ignored. His ongoing work is centered on 1) inspection and replacement models which have imperfect inspections and 2) inspection and replacement models with inspections that take a non-negligible amount of time to complete.
