scale.
Both MTBF and MTTR are functions of three parameters, λ, ∆, and s

, and
before we attempt to obtain useful approximate expressions for these functions, we
need to consider the relationship between failures and the spike (introduced in sec-
tion 7.5.1). Let us introduce two parameters, similar to MTBF and MTTR, for the
spike, mean time between strikes (MTBS), and mean time in strike (MTIS). ese
two parameters are functions of λ and ∆, but, of course, do not depend on s

. It is
then straightforward to see that the followin
