Abstract

The geometric process is considered when the distribution of the first interarrival time is assumed to be Weibull. Its one‐dimensional probability distribution is derived as a power series expansion of the convolution of the Weibull distributions. Further, the mean value function is expanded into a power series using an integral equation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 61: 599–603, 2014
