Abstract
Some illustrative applications of semi-Markov processes in biostatistics, demography, and queuing theory are discussed. Algorithms for implementing such processes on a computer are also described, with suggestions for statistical inference based on models constructed from renewal theory and semi-Markov processes. An illustrative numerical example, based on a simple illness-death process of Fix and Neyman, is also provided.
