Abstract

In this introductory chapter, we partially follow, revise, and expand the relevant portions of Chaps. 2 and 4 of Finkelstein [25] and also add other material that should be helpful when reading the rest of this book. Therefore, we will often refer to this chapter in the subsequent parts of the text. It covers the notions and some basic properties of the failure rate, the mean residual lifetime, stochastic point processes, minimal and general repair, multivariate accelerated and proportional hazards models and, finally, the simplest stochastic orders.
