Abstract
In this note the joint distribution for the times in an interval [0, t] spent in the states 1, 2, ···, N in a standard quasi-Markov process of order N is considered. An expression for the Laplace transform with respect to t of the Laplace–Stieltjes transform of this joint distribution is derived.Keywords
