We consider a Poisson process that is modulated in such a way that the arrival rate at any time depends on the state of a semi-Markov process. This presents an interesting generalization of Poisson processes with important implications in real life applications. Our analysis concentrates on the...

We consider Markov Modulated Bernoulli Processes (MMBP) where the success probability of a Bernoulli process evolves over time according to a Markov chain. The MMBP is applied in reliability modeling where systems and components function in a randomly changing environment. Some of these...
