Recurrent Event Modeling Based on the Yule Process: Application to Water Network Asset Management

This book presents research work into the reliability of drinking water pipes.

The infrastructure of water pipes is susceptible to routine failures, namely leakage or breakage, which occur in an aggregative manner in pipeline networks. Creating strategies for infrastructure asset management requires accurate modeling tools and first-hand experience of what repeated failures can mean in terms of socio-economic and environmental consequences.

Devoted to the counting process framework when dea...
