Mazhuga, Yu. I. Estimation of the distribution for the change-point of a continuous homogeneous Markov process. (Russian) Zbl 0666.60075 Teor. Veroyatn. Mat. Stat., Kiev 39, 83-87 (1988). Some estimates of the distributions of life times for homogeneous Markov processes with general state spaces are given. For example, denote by \(\zeta\) the life time and \(m(x)=E^ x\zeta\). Suppose that \(\pi\) is an excessive probability measure, \(E^{\pi}\zeta <\infty\), and the initial distribution \(\alpha\leq a\pi\), where a is a constant. Then for each \(m>0\) \[ \sup_{t\geq 0}| P_{\alpha}(\zeta >t)-e^{-t/m}\leq (2a/m)\int \pi (dx)| m(x)-m. \] Reviewer: He Shengwu Cited in 2 ReviewsCited in 1 Document MSC: 60J75 Jump processes (MSC2010) 62M09 Non-Markovian processes: estimation Keywords:distributions of life times; Markov processes; excessive probability measure PDFBibTeX XMLCite \textit{Yu.
