Bayesian Simple Step–Stress Acceleration Life Testing Plan under Progressive Type-I Right Censoring for Exponential Life Distribution

چکیده
This paper discusses the design of the optimal SSALT plan using Bayesian approach and progressive Type-I right censoring for an exponential life distribution under large sample size and small censoring proportion. The cumulative exposure model and the exponential life distribution in both steps are assumed. The progressive Type-I right censoring can reduce the cost of the test. This reduction, unfortunately, comes on the expense of reducing the precision of the test. The optimal test parameters, the stress changing time and the first step stress, are obtained by minimizing the expected variance of the life for the p percentile using Bayesian approach. A comparison between conventional Type-I and progressive Type-I right censoring is also provided. The results showed that progressive Type-I right censoring is recommended when strong prior information for the model parameters is used as the test precision becomes less sensitive to the censoring proportion.

متن کاملExact hypothesis testing and confidence interval for mean of the exponential distribution under Type-I progressive hybrid censoring
Censored samples are discussed in experiments of life-testing; i.e. whenever the experimenter does not observe the failure times of all units placed on a life test. In recent years, inference based on censored sampling is considered, so that about the parameters of various distributions such as normal, exponential, gamma, Rayleigh, Weibull, log normal, inverse Gaussian, ...
متن کاملOptimal Simple Step-Stress Plan for Type-I Censored Data from Geometric Distribution
Abstract. A simple step-stress accelerated life testing plan is considered when the failure times in each level of stress are geometrically distributed under Type-I censoring. The problem of choosing the optimal plan is investigated using the asymptotic variance-optimality as well as determinant-optimality and probability-optimality criteria. To illustrate the results of the paper, an example i...

This paper considers the simple step-stress model from the Marshall-Olkin generalized exponential distribution when there is time constraint on the duration of the experiment. The maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters assuming a cumulative exposure model with lifetimes as the distributed Marshall Olkin generalized exponential are derived.

متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Step Stress Accelerated Life Tests for Censored Data}
Life testing often is consuming a very long time for testing. Therefore, the engineers and statisticians are looking for some approaches to reduce the running time. There is a recommended method for reducing the time of failure, such that the stress level of the test units will increase, and then they will fail earlier than normal operating conditions. These approaches are called accelerated li...
