In this paper, we analyze the Italian reform of the judicial system proposed in 2010 by using multi-state models. The transitions between states are assumed to be generated by a semi-Markov process. The introduction of the reform is considered as a general system maintenance policy. The effects of the reform are evaluated by computing the system's transition probabilities, failure rates and odds ratios of failure rates. The introduction of a reward structure measures the impact of the reform from the point of view of costs.

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the Italian reform of the judicial system proposed in 2010 by using multi-state models. The transitions between states are assumed to be generated by a semi-Markov process. The introduction of the reform is considered as a general system maintenance policy. The effects of the reform are evaluated by computing the system's transition probabilities, failure rates and odds ratios of failure rates. The introduction of a reward structure measures the impact of the reform from the point of view of costs. An example showing the possibility of implementing a real data application is presented. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
