Abstract: | The joint complementary distribution function is used to obtain the covariance function of the backward and forward recurrence times in an ordinary renewal process for both the time dependent and the steady state cases. Hence, a closed form expression for the steady state correlation of the backward and forward recurrence times is obtained and special cases are investigated |
