A Branching Poisson Process Model for the Analysis of Computer Failure Patterns
Abstract
Summary: Current reliability models predict that the failure pattern of a computer should form a Poisson process. Experience has shown, however, that the times-between-failures of a computer are not exponentially distributed, and that successive times-between-failures are not independent. These deviations from a Poisson process are due to imperfect repair of failed components; the resulting failure pattern is described by a branching Poisson process model. The probabilistic properties of this model are derived and used to analyse three series of computer failures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
