Constant Rate Distributions on Partially Ordered Sets

Abstract

We consider probability distributions with constant rate on partially ordered sets, generalizing distributions in the usual reliability setting ( [ 0 , ∞ ) , ≤ ) that have constant failure rate. In spite of the minimal algebraic structure, there is a surprisingly rich theory, including moment results and results concerning ladder variables and point processes. We concentrate mostly on discrete posets, particularly posets whose graphs are rooted trees. We pose some questions on the existence of constant rate distributions for general discrete posets.
