Abstract
A general probability model for a start-up demonstration test is studied. The joint probability generating function of some random variables appearing in the Markov dependence model of the start-up demonstration test with corrective actions is derived by the method of probability generating function. By using the probability generating function, several characteristics relating to the distribution are obtained.
