New experimental method to investigate the renewal epochs in non-Markov processes
Giuseppe Faraci, A. Pennisi · Journal of Applied Physics · 1985
In order to describe exactly the renewal epochs of nonsimple Markov processes, a new experimental method has been developed which allows one to draw out of the sequence data which can be directly compared with exact formulas. The analyzed process has been obtained by superimposing an ordinary Poisson distribution with periodic signals when the whole train is processed by a device introducing a finite width (dead time) of nonextended type. Excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions has been found.
