Manickam, K. Murugeswari, Somenath Chakraborty, Saurav Mallik This is a preprint; it has not been peer reviewed by a journal. https://doi.org/ 10.21203/rs.3.rs-4806471/v1 This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 License Status: Under Review Version 1 posted 3 You are reading this latest preprint version Abstract In this study, the generalized birth & death processes, a subclass of Semi-Markov processes are introduced, and some qualitative results of modelling degradation processes are produced. The long-term influences of closeness and breastfeeding are simulated by using the mathematical dynamics. The processes unique parameterization is given in a more user-friendly presentation of the outcomes. The conditional state probabilities associated with the cycles, which are particularly relevant to degradation processes, give special emphasis. A non-linear mathematical model is introduced along with necessary experimental observations to study the given medical problem.
