Abstract
In this note we revisit the discussion on minimal repair in heterogeneous populations in Finkelstein (2004). We consider the corresponding stochastic intensities (intensity processes) for items in heterogeneous populations given available information on their operational history, i.e. the failure (repair) times and the time since the last failure (repair). Based on the improved definitions, the setup of Finkelstein (2004) is modified and the main results are corrected in accordance with the updating procedure for the conditional frailty distribution.
