Negative ageing properties for counting processes arising in virtual age models

Abstract: In the present paper we consider general counting processes stopped at a random time T, independent of the process. Provided that T has the decreasing failure rate (DFR) property, we give sufficient conditions on the arrival times so that the number of events occurring before T preserves the DFR property of T. These conditions involve the study of the conditional interarrival times. As a main application, we prove the DFR property in a context of maintenance models in reliability, by the consideration of Kijima type I virtual age models under quite general assumptions.
