Ordered and censored lifetime data in reliability: An illustrative review

Abstract The present review provides a survey on basic models of ordered data and censoring mechanisms with focus lifetime data, failure reliability applications. Throughout, illustrations the generation process as well are used to visualize these procedures. By example we results assuming life testing model independent identically distributed measurements selected inferential for exponentially lifetimes. In particular, aim illustrate similarities between highlight some interesting exact statistical results. It is not intended all possible assumptions, probabilistic results, methods in this framework. For purpose further reading, provide an extensive bibliography.
