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 censoring scheme. The progressive Type-II censoring scheme, after starting the life-testing experiment with ....[To continue please click here]
