摘要

This final report on grant AFOSR 88-0308 describes research accomplished duringthe period August 1, 1988-July, 1990 by Principal Investigator F.J. Samaniego and his collaborators under grant support. The results obtained in 8 completed manuscripts and two manuscripts in preparation are summarized. This research includes contributions to (i) product moment computation for multivariate survival functions (ii) parametric and nonparametric estimation in reliability (iii) the foundations of statistical estimation theory and (iv) nonstandard sampling techniques in life testing experiments.
