摘要
Geometric process (GP) is widely used as a non-stationary stochastic model in reliability analysis. In many of applications related with GP its mean value and variance functions are needed. Since there are no analytical forms of these functions in a lot of situations their computations are of importance. In this study, a numerical approximation and Monte Carlo estimation method based on the convolutions of distribution functions have been proposed for both the mean value and variance functions.
