Abstract
In this paper, complex repairable systems presenting infant failures are considered. Different maintenance activities can be carried out such as corrective maintenances and planned preventive maintenances. The maintenance process is described using the competing risks framework under imperfect maintenance. Asymmetric virtual age models are assumed to characterize the maintenance efficiency. Statistical inference procedures are developed considering whether or not the causes of failure are recorded. Properties of the model are presented along with numerical estimations and an application to real data.
