Markov chain modelling for time evolution of internal pitting corrosion distribution of oil and gas pipelines

A continuous time non-homogenous linear growth pure birth Markov model was used to predict the future pit depth distribution of internally corroded oil and gas pipelines. A negative binomial distribution was used for calculating the transition probability functions of the pit depths whilst pit depth...
