Exponential Distribution
Discrete-time instantaneous availability models were specifically studied in the last
chapter, which has some significance for the research on instantaneous availability
fluctuation. However, as seen from the physical meaning of the discrete-time
instantaneous availability models, their focus is to solve the problems in discrete-
time systems. As we know, continuous-time problems can be approximately
solved by discrete methods. Considering the advantages of discrete-time models
in numerical calculation, this chapter comparatively a ...
