TLDR
In this paper, an estimator based on the number of renewals Nt in a fixed time t is proposed to estimate the parameter k in a renewal process where the interarrival times have gamma(μ, k) distribution.

System availability in a gamma alternating renewal process

TL;DR: This work measures the effectiveness of a repairable system by the proportion of time the system is on, where on-time and off-times are assumed independent and both gamma-distributed.
