| Abstract | In this paper we consider a multi-state one component systems with linearly ordered levels of performance. It is assumed that at a given moment of time the system can fail down only for one level with constant transition intensities. Under these assumptions we give the explicit transition probabilities that we use to estimate the transition intensities. There are two types of systems for which we estimate the parameters, the systems that are under complete control and the systems for which we can observe only the time of total failure. |
