| Abstract: | The units of a heterogeneous population are subjected to shocks. A unit fails, or more generally, undergoes a change of state after a sufficient number of shocks. The shocks for a particular unit are assumed to arrive according to a time heterogeneous Poisson process. The time to a change of state, the transition time, for the unit has a generalized "gamma" distribution. The authors assume that the intensity of the Poisson process and the number of shocks until the change of state vary independently across the units. |
