Abstract: An attempt has been made to obtain the inter-arrival times of two consecutive heart attacks by using the technique of Palm probability. The arrival rate of heart attacks is taken to be Poisson, which is assumed to vary individual to individual following gamma distribution leading to a dependent process. In this communication, a methodology has been used to estimate the consecutive failure time of heart attack with compound Poisson inputs weighted by gamma distribution based on hospital discharge data relating to heart failures.
