چکیده

Constant-stress procedure based on parametric lifetime distribution and model is often used for accelerated life testing in product reliability experiment. Maximum likelihood estimation is the typically statistical inference method. This paper presents a new inference method, named random variable transformation (RVT) method for Weibull constant-stress accelerated life test with progressively Type II right censoring (including ordinary Type II right censoring). A two-parameter Weibull life distribution with a scale parameter that is a loglinear function of stress is used. RVT inference life distribution parameters and the log-linear function coefficients are provided. Exact confidence intervals for these parameters are also explored. Numerical comparison of RVT-based estimates to MLE shows that the proposed RVT inference is very promising, in particular, for small sample size.

Statistical Inference for the Lomax Distribution under Progressively Type-II Censoring with Binomial Removal

This paper considers parameter estimations in Lomax distribution under progressive type-II censoring with random removals, assuming that the number of units removed at each failure time has a binomial distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are derived using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The Bayes estimates of the parameters are obtained using both the squared erro...

Inference for a Skew Normal Distribution Based on Progressively Type-II Censored Samples

In many industrial experiments involving lifetimes of machines or units, experiments have to be terminated early or the number of experiments must be limited due to a variety of circumstances (e.g. when expensive, etc.) the samples that arise from such experiments are called censored data. Cohen (1991) was one of the earliest to study a more general censoring scheme called progressive censor...

CONSTANT STRESS ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING DESIGNWITH TYPE-II CENSORING SCHEME FOR PARETO DISTRIBUTION USING GEOMETRIC PROCESS

In many of the studies concerning Accelerated life testing (ALT), the log linear function between life and stress which is just a simple re-parameterization of the original parameter of the life distribution is used to obtain the estimates of original parameters but from the statistical point of view, it is preferable to work with the original parameters instead of developing inferences for the...

Inference for the Type-II Generalized Logistic Distribution with Progressive Hybrid Censoring

This article presents the analysis of the Type-II hybrid progressively censored data when the lifetime distributions of the items follow Type-II generalized logistic distribution. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are investigated for estimating the location and scale parameters. It is observed that the MLEs can not be obtained in explicit forms. We provide the approximate maximum likelihood...

Modified Progressive Type-II Censoring Procedure in Life-Testing under the Weibull Model

In this paper we introduce a new scheme of censoring and study it under the Weibull distribution. This scheme is a mixture of progressive Type II censoring and self relocating design which was first introduced by Srivastava [8]. We show the superiority of this censoring scheme (PSRD) relative to the classical schemes with respect to “asymptotic variance”. Comparisons are also made with respect ...
