Reliability analysis based on progressively first-failure-censored samples for the proportional hazard rate model

摘要

Based on a new life test plan called a progressive first-failure-censoring scheme, the estimation problem of the reliability performances is considered for a semi-parameter class of distributions by using Bayes and non-Bayes methods. In order to investigate the accuracy of estimation, an illustrative example is examined numerically by means of Monte-Carlo simulation.
